Drifting.com made the top-ten websites in my book:
"Drifting.com
www.drifting.com
Drifting, the newest form of motorsports, likened by some as the figure skating of the automotive racing world, is growing in leaps and bounds both in the U.S. and elsewhere around the world. Started by Japanese automotive enthusiasts interested in displaying how far sideways they could slide their cars on winding mountain roads in Japan, the sport/art of drifting has caught hold and become one of the most hyped, if not enjoyed, forms of performance tuning and driving in recent times.
As with nearly any form of motor sports, drifting has its own preferred platforms (AE86 Toyota Corollas, known as Hachi-Rokus, and Nissan 240SX Silvia conversions are the current most popular drift cars) as well as set-up techniques (it isn't unusual to find $900 cars with $5,000 or more in LSD and suspension upgrades). Beyond the car itself, you must master at least half a dozen different drift techniques to be competitive in the drift arena.
Drifting.com is one of the more comprehensive drift-oriented databases, full of useful and up-to-date information and links for both new and seasoned drifters alike. Even if you have never thought of drifting your car before, Drifting.com makes for an interesting read on this dynamic form of automotive performance."
