Greg, you deserve a pizza!
I saw that infamous run. I've never been more entertained at an autocross
before. I could barely breathe. I thought for sure he'd loop it. Of course,
having Mike Camicia announce helps too. That's so cool that that run shall
forever live on in the hard drives of our lives.
Cheers,
Katie

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.

I don't get the whole concept of "drift racing". If you are drifting, you
must not be going against the clock. Do they compete for style points?
Maybe we can have one of these at GGF? :)
