Duh-oh! I saw this posted in the Motorsports section and already responded to it there. Oh well. Thank Microsoft for ctrl-c. 
Here's what I feel about that vid...

Nice vid, I guess. Not too sure I care for the whole "circus sideshow attraction" feel of that event. Too gimmicky. Great driving, but very much overshadowed at times by the comical antics and flying bikes. I'm not into flashy, glitzy productions. Keeping it simple always works for me.
I have a feeling that in a couple of years, drift events in the U.S. will be like sideshow attractions. They'll become more like car shows with bikini contests, break dancing and dj competitions, and dB drags all happening during the drifting. At least that's the way it's going in SoCal with their drift events. Just wait and see. It's more about packaging a product for spectators in order to make some money for the promoters than it is about the drivers getting good practice in. Bahhhh!
