where have you been? drifting has been mainstream for quite a while now. drifting has been mainstream in japan for many years already. drifting has pretty much been mainstream in th U.S. a while before the show tuner transformation even came out. if u want to blame someone for bringing the sport of drifting into the mainstream spotlight... blame option magazine, daijiro inada, and the D1 grand prix. i don't blame them, i'm actually glad they made the decision to bring this sport to it's current status. face it, if it had not been for them, you would have never even heard of drifting. people like you complain about drifting being brought into the spotlight but if you(and many others) did now know about drifting you would be following some other motorsport trend like nascar or import drag racing. pretty much your only options are... 1. get over it and keep enjoying drifting or 2. move on to something else that's supposedly "underground and original" so you can regain you lost sense of "grassroots induvidualism". i'm not trying to hate on anyone. just enjoy the silly mountain dew drifting commercials you'll be seeing for the next few years.

Atfirst I didnt like the idea of drifting getting popular here, but then I started thinking outside the box and I realized it could be very beneficial for the people who are really into it. There will be more demand for certain parts that some of us dont have access to since you can only get them in japan or through an importer or something like that. More competitions will (and have) start, giving people more chances to improve at tracks. Eventually the people who drift just because its the new fad, will probably get tired of it and move on to something else, where as , the people who truely love it will still be doing what theyre doing now. This has been gone over quite a bit now. But anyway, basically, its not all bad...plus, like DreNspeed said, its been mainstream for a while now already.Comment

none of the things that dreN listed got me into drifting, but that's probably just me because i've been into the japanese/asian stuff for a long *Censored**Censored**Censored* time..
shrug but i see where he's going with it
live with it and move on... some of you are probably just scared because...kids that are getting involved in drifting might just turn out to be better then you, and you won't be able to accept it...
theres nothing you can do...
except -- ^.^;hope that doesn't happen to youLast edited by sobe; 04-18-2004, 11:07 AM.Comment

I've always maintained that with drifting becomming more and more popular it is up to us, the drifters, to shape it into the sport we want it to become. The fact is the better you are the more say you have. So practice practice practice, and help guide drifting into its next stage.
Also understand, alot of those kids who see shows like that and want to know more about drifting will come to this site. Hell anyone see the first copy of the magazine "boost" (not a bad rag at all) theres a link here in there drifting artical. Its up to us to act mature and help guide the new guys into drifting, and away from the whole "drift car show" stuff, or whatever your pet peve happens to be.Comment

i dont like nascar or drag racing, never did. i know drifting has come along way and im glad that the sport is growing so large, but my concern is drifting being saturated with garbage. im not new to the sport and have been drifting for along while, i thought that show was a joke! sorry if i pissed anyone off. my original grassroot under the ground individuality is indeed the reason for my post, a little much for some of you, but im just trying to be cool.
