Wow - this is one seriously fucked up thread.
Is this Dan guy for real? I mean seriously - i still haven't had the pleasure of meeting him and I'm beginning to suspect that "he" is some kind of artificially intelligent computer virii that infects internet forums and posts shit. If Simon *did* threaten to smack into Dan's car I say "whatever" - it's not what I'd do - but I'd certainly pay to see it.
Secondly, turboke10 -> your participation in motorsport means squat. This is the internet, if you run around boasting credentials you are only going to look like you don't actually have a good argument - you are just trying to say to others that you are better than them and your opinion is right and theirs is wrong. Competing on an international level means you could have been the co-driver in the Classic Adelaide event and I've seen the Classic Adelaide and it ain't that rough. Maybe I should come up with something that makes me sound better than everyone else -> hmmm how about I've got a 100% win ratio in rally events? Yeah that sounds good - wait a minute, I've only 'competed' in one and that was a novice category so I guess it doesn't make me sound so good after all.
Anyway, in regards to your scepticism of drifting and it's professional uptake in Australia -> are you retarded? How much money do you expect to flood into a sport that is barely a few years old in Australia? It's only just recently been recognised as by CAMS and hence at least it is run INSURED now. You may not have noticed, but it is in it's infancy! The crowd that attends the drift events may not be the typical motorsport crowd - it's an extremely youthful crowd for sure - I would say that the fact that the crowd is young is a reflection of the unique nature of the sport. I'm not going to go into why drifting appeals to younger types but it is pretty impressive that even though drifting is still remarkably low on funding that it drags the young crowd out to Mallala better than a V8 Supercar race.
What is good for drifting is that it does have something that sets it apart from the 'same old'. You say you were bored watching Simon's drift vid? Have you watched the fucking formula 1 - the 'pinnacle' of what is considered the staple format for motorsport since time immemorial? It bores me to tears, I've watched about 1 race from start to finish in the last 24 months, usually I just switch over to Letterman or picking hairs out of my hairbrush. Circuit racing has it's demographic and it's appeal, rallying has it's demographic and it's appeal, drag racing does, and drifting has it's own as well. I'm not saying that drifting is better than Formula 1 - if a Formula 1 race was in town, and a drift event was on at the same time, I know which one I'd go to - F1 every time.
For the record - I'm a rally guy myself, and I think drifting is great to watch and probably to compete in as well (just gimme a few more months plz I'll be out there!) - and so do a few other local ralliers like Jack and Gleeson.
Well - enough of this shit.
Simon that sucks MEGA hard that your car is dead, here's hoping you find a way to get back out there to do your thing. I wish there was something I could do right now!
