Ok what do you guys 1. like/2. dislike about the US drift scene, and 3. who is your top 3 favorite D1 drivers? Why?


1. Very friendly people (those who I actually know more than just a 'hello' especially). Surprisingly good considering our "newness" to the sport. FOr example, watching old Options vids, we are about consistant with how the D1 drivers were about 3-5 years ago. Not bad, imo.

2. JDM-this, Drifta-that trendZ in impoRt society, yO! Grrrr. I think it is also horribel to hear people booing other people at Drift Showoff. Especially since some of the peopel booing were waiting in a 2hour long line to get into a car SHOW! Ugh. I also don't like how many uptight people who are concerned with competition and winning/i'm better attitude.

3. Koguchi, Haruguchi, Kumakubo. Koguchi is so fast and accurate, also his car control, imo, is unrivaled.
Haruguchi has some of the craziest, wild slides. His sidebrake technique is crazy and throttle modulation is great, getting his car to rotate and stay sideways as he wishes. Too bad his flashiness comes with the inevetible mis-coursing. I love how he uses everything from the outised edge of the track (dipping a wheel and/or losing his rear bumper and outside sideskirt) as well as getting the apex and losing his front bumper and inside sideskirt! Man BN Sports has their hands full with replacements for him!
Kumakubo: WHat can you say? After watching many videos last night, this dude rocks! He uses the whole course like haruguchi, but he does not have his S15 slammed or all FRP'd out like Haraguchi's FC and FD so he loses less parts. The thing I like most about Kumakubo's style is how fluid he is, in contrast to Haruguchi's flashiness...

ANyway, this is out of pure boredom, and I hope I get flamed from Duffman or someone because i am "imposing" drifting on the masses and not letting them think fo themselves...
