For what it's worth, I've been to 2 drift meets, and needless to say, they are boring. Being here in Adelaide, i've only attended Malalla Raceway for both of the meets. i'm yet to go to a Club PSI event at Adelaide International Raceway.
BUT
I find that watching Video Option DVD's or Hot Version DVD's of people who can "actually" drift is more exciting than going out to these meets?
Why?
Unfortunately, Australia is pretty new to the sport, same as America. Compare our drivers to American drivers - they're practically even. Compare them to a D1 driver who has been drifting the mountains since they were 14-15 and there is no contest.
It's much bigger in Japan and until these f@$kwits who think that the sun shines out their arses cos they can "drift" wake up and realise that they actually arent gods gift to making their car slide and pull together as a community and not outcast themselves, Australians and Americans won't progress any faster and actually become as well known as the D1GP drivers are.
I can name one person who drives/drifts an AE86 in Aus who would fit that bill and he comes across as an arrogant prick too. He also enters the competitions.
