Drift racing is pretty much a style thing.  Although I have some friends who do 
compete in drift racing where they time themselves.  Oh yeah, Ben Martinez can 
drift race with the best!

In fact here is alink of Ben Martinez's famous run at De Anza.

video footage of drifter racing with multiple cars on course at the same time.

friends in Japan.

Maybe we can have one of these at GGF? :)
