That is barely a step above TFAF. Is that your idea of the future of American motorsports? Vinyl clad "silvias" doriftoing down the side of a mountain. GOD HELP US ALL!!! So do you also think that the local stip-mall street races are the future of NHRA?

i understand your point, but touge does have a lot of moronic people but there are also a lot of people who have a brain. now touge may be brainless you say but it does spark more interest. i know adey personally and he would have never been on the track w/o his grip touge stuff. and he's pretty damn fast too (on the track and mountains).
as far as people in front of the mall, actually many drag racers who are proffessionals did get their start street racing. not everyone can afford a drag car test it out on the drag strip and say "no this isnt for me". its a stepping stone by using the mountains or street to learn more. YES it is not safe. YES it is illegal, but how else can you find out if its what you want to do if you've never done it?
not everyone can afford to go to a track or auto x (even though autox is very inexpensive)
anyways.
also the people who usually TRY to drift in the mountains crash their car. i've heard of it so manytimes. the people who actually drift there car have been doing it for 3 - xx years.
most peole grip but too many ricers. i dont go to that stuff anymore. not worth the risk.
