Its become apparent that Besercoe has something against drifting?

Simple question...Why?

Is it because he missed out on early teen "p" plater drift action?

Is it because he does not have car powerful enough to drift?

To the contrary mr Knight my first car was a Custom V8 HQ statesman with all the goodies. it saw a fair bit of sideways and circle work, but drifting just seems like a waste of time both full size and in RC, but i guess my first exposure to rc drift was not the best, i saved some morons car from being destroyed in open practice at EC.

Not many roads would be wide enough to drift a HQ statesman.

The statesmans had a major problem with droop settings.

There will be heaps of drifting at the worlds next year (2005) concidering it will be electric off road

So when are all you guys going to start a drift class at a club meet, and make it mandatory that your cars have reverse so no-one will have to marshall (because some will nod off to sleep)

I notice in your signature you have a Noisy car, most of those at the tracks are constantly sideways, but i wouldnt say they have any car control Let alone ultimate.

I can see little johnny having fun drifting his car in the street in front of his house, but why anyone would want to bring it to a race track is beyond me.
