ha why drifting is dumb.
from a drivers perspective other motorsports are principally about performance and or competition. i.e. racing and driving as fast as possible given the road/track conditions (straights,curves,whatever). the exhibition aspect of such activity was always secondary. exhibition being, spectators watching you. sure bmw did the art-car thing, and daytona mopars look cool, but the main point is to drive fast and win races.
drifting, well drifting has that relationship of performance/racing and exhibition reversed. exhibition is the principal goal of drifting (as a motorsport). in fact the secondary racing aspect of drifting hardly exists as its not quantified (i.e. no timing used) they use JUDGES. thats obnoxious, its like figure
skating vs
speed skating.
sure the drivers have fun doing both.. but do you want to be a 'ice dancer' or a speed skater?
theres tons of other stuff, but ill save my other reasons for later
