Drifting as a sport may be fun but it has really started to screw up things for autocross. At least in the US. Damm lawyers and insurance clowns!

Because of some "accidents" during poorly run or illegal drifting events we are now treated to the anti drifting warning at every autocross we attend, whether it is a local club event or run by the SCCA.

I started in autocross in 1980 and spent 2 years running the SCCA rally divisional series in '85 and '86. Really had fun learning the proper rally driving technique! Rally has to be the most fun you can have in a car... Now, if it did not cost so darn much...

Back to autocross... At an SCCA event last summer I was still sorting out the car, having added a rear anti-swaybar but not having got things dialed in quite right, got into a 180 degree sweeper a bit hot. Did what came naturally and rallyed around the corner in a nice 4 wheel drift. I got a "drift warning" from one of the pit stewards...

Just kind of P's me off that now we have to be "politically correct" in how we drive during races.

Sorry about the rant...

Oh, here is the only photo of my dato in a drift... Was wet which kind of helped the sideways equation...
