I constantly argue with my buddies about what requires more skill and it always boils down to nascar, well its not your driving style or the car you drive, its the feeling you get when your doing what you love, and if you can see that someone loves what there doing... why bother them? does nascar require more skill than drifting? i think brain surgeon beats both. there hows that for no bias? haha later guys Tyler ok hi hows it goin drifters and nascar fans? i just wanted to say i live in a small town in northern minnesota and up here, drifting isnt respected at all, its all about the power and size… i grew into drifting by traveling, its the best thing that ever happend to me.

I look forward to more events like this in the future, and stronger involvement in drifting from new areas like NASCAR. I can do nothing, but help bring new fans to the sport.

I want to thank everyone that came out and supported the event. Everyone had a blast and we made history. We brought two completely opposite motorsports together and everyone got along great and gained a lot of respect for each other. Any drift fan that didnt think this event was great for drifting is a complete fool. We brought more exposure to drifting than any other event in history. We got a full piece about the event on the NASCAR pre race show on NBC with a couple million people watching. The NASCAR guys and drift guys developed friendships and a great mutual respect that would never have happened without this event. This was an awesome event and everyone that was a part of it knows how important it was to the drift scene. I had always been a fan of drifting, that is why I came up with this idea, but now I love it. I know we have turned a lot of NASCAR fans into drifting fans and that is good for the sport. Oh yeah...to the guy who said that nascar drivers have no skills...you are an idiot. Think before you speak. I am one of Kasey Kahne’s managers and I am one of the promoters that put this event on.

From what I saw, a renegade group of drivers who had never set foot in one of these cars put up a fight against drifting's best in ONE DAY? And yet these "professional" drifting drivers have spent YEARS honing their craft. Hmmm. What are the chances that a drifting driver would qualify for a NASCAR race with one day of practice.........? Racing is racing. The ENTIRE motorsports community needs to mature and celebrate one another. There is no "best" form of racing, only what we, as individuals, prefer. This event was a step in the right direction, to be sure, but we should be left with a sense of humility that these two vastly different cultures could come together. Please.

They could have easily put on a great Best of Eight competition. Full of great tandem and an actuall winner. I think toshi, Inadia and the fans could have easily judged it, being an exhibition it doesn't have to be crazy technical. Other than no compition it was a great event considering it was for charity. And for the record this is my first charity event I have ever attended, so I think they did their job.
