What kind of racing do you guys like?

[OneFastRat]

I personally like all

[datzenmike]

I like almost anything that is determined by being the fastest or the first, like rally or drag, which leaves out drifting which is to car racing what figure skating is to hockey.

[Jdm720]

Rally and grip would be my favorites on that list.

I love going up to the canyons.

[goonfan]

..... drifting which is to car racing what figure skating is to hockey.

 

Fuck yeah!

Hill climbers are nuts, stupid fun to watch them rip around. Especially in the rain. 

[darrel]

road racing.

[metalmonkey47]

I like all forms. Especially Australian V8 Supercar and F1. 

 

 

Those of you who have never been around grassroots drifting will never see at for what it is. We all like doing out of control things. Burnouts, donuts, hard launches. Drifting incorporates some of the most out of control actions that any form of racing is famous for. 

 

it's about looking like you're as out of control as possible, but still physically being in control. Not about finishing 1st, or before a certain time. it's about fun and adrenaline. There's nothing about it even remotely close to figure skating or dancing. That's just how some of you older guys see it. it's new. Just something unusual that most of you guys aren't used to.

 

Watch an event, smell the burning rubber for hours, the sound of screaming cars flying past you sideways at (sometimes) 90+MPH is pure fun.

 

 

Watch this video and maybe you'll see how we see it. From 8:40 on is good ;)

I dont think anyone is denying the visual appeal to drifting... just that its not racing.

That's all fine, because drifting isn't racing and shouldn't even be included in this poll.

 Why isn't it racing?

 

the dictionary defines a race as: 

 

-a contest of speed, as in running, riding, driving, or sailing.

-any contest or competition, especially to achieve superiority

 

 

So what if the point isn't to finish in 1st or complete your lap before a certain time? Grassroots drifting may not be racing. But there are plenty of sanctioned events where drifting is judged and their is a goal.

Because a races whole point is to come in first and not be judged. 

[q-tip]

With that definition of racing chess would also be a race....

 

 

 

...if it involves skill and horsepower I'll watch it, accept NASCAR. :lol:

[Longtooth]

If there is a throttle I am down for it.

[bananahamuck]

Fuck your forms of racing,,

 

 

[q-tip]

I do love me some down home dirt racin

[Komeuppance]

Anything but brag racing... skill levels of dropping the hammer in a world class dragster compared to controlling a world class rally machine are very different. Plus most guys who are solely into brag racing are all about ego, and very ignorant towards other forms of motorsports, which makes for a very poor entertainment factor unless you like girly drama lol.

No, that's not true. Mainstream racing would lead you to believe that, but you don't ALWAYS compete to be in front.

Dirt racing has been in my family for decades. My cousin's picked up where everyone left off and races now. Not sure what class. Might go see some dirt action tonight.

[Tristin]

Sure, let me rephrase then... the point of racing is to finish in the desired physical position against other opponents. The point of racing is not to look pretty compared to your opponents. 

 

Drifting is for sure a motorsport that takes skill, but its not racing. 

[goonfan]

^^This. I'm gonna start calling it cheesen', cause it's fun to do. lol

[datson4life]

freeway racing?

 

i got devoured last night by a super fast miata, but it was still fun

[Jdm720]

Freeway racing, now that's a rush... When I was younger, and careless. 

Don't put other people's lives at risk for a short run of fun. Take it to the track if you're serious.

 

Also, if you're caught, straight to the crusher if I remember correctly. (At least here in California, and correct me if I'm wrong but I believe it's still in effect)

Yes, they crush the cars.  :hmm:
