They're mad for it in Japan, and the enthusiasm has already hit U.S. shores, setting new attendance records wherever a drifting competition is held. If you enjoy smoking, screaming tires, make sure you arrive early at the Mopar Twin 25's. And if you appreciate displays of extreme driver control, you'll also enjoy drifting. See what it's all about!
Unlike other forms of motorsports, drifting is more than just pure speed, as drivers are judged on execution and style as they slide a car at high speed through a marked course. Their goal is to break the rear wheels loose, setting the car into a 'drift,' and maintaining the drift through the turn. Tuner car fans will appreciate the smaller, lightweight cars used in drifting, although these cars all use rear-wheel drive.
Two 15-minute drifting exhibitions will kick off the night's racing festivities for the Mopar Twin 25's at 5:00 p.m.
