Coming from a Road Racing background, I 100% agree with what you're saying. Too many guys are just throwing money at their cars and hoping it makes them an excellent driver.
It's safe to say that drifting is one tiny portion of driving skill; controlled oversteer. Too many are thinking they are gods gift to driving because they can hold a car sideways around a parking lot.
Ego's are what ruined drifting, and it's sad to see it.
I started drifting because it was fun, and a way to blow off stress from the competitive aspect of Road Racing. More and more I see people dumping boat loads of money into these cars and they still can't put a lap together. I'm talking more money than it costs me to race a full-season; it's nuts!
Anyways, cool story, and I enjoyed reading about your journey. Keep up the good work, and try to get to Japan sometime. Your mindset is perfect for their style of competitions.
