That is out of control! I love it. Did anyone notice that the blue car about the 17 second mark had sparks coming off the tires??

low profile tires were not made for road racing, let alone drifting... + the guys probably low on pressure..
those are his wheels hitting the concrete

That looks badass. I want to learn how to do that but then I would have to buy tires all the time!

I'd direct you all to this months issue of Car & Driver, there's a great spread on drifting-- they buy bald, low-pro tires, run them on low pressure, and just pour on the throttle... reminds me of my donut spinning days in my 86 RWD Cutlass beater.... ahhh, the memories
