Is this the next craze from Japan to sweep america - like drifting?

There are already clubs doing events in New England and California. Looks like a lot of fun! :D

Yeah, Williams is a legend and the cops have inspired "rodeos" among the big, biker crowd at rallies like Daytona, Laconia and Sturgis for years, but these events tended to be a novelty. What's new is the sport-bike scene embracing it, grassroots clubs renting parking lots on weekends and setting up courses that are a bit longer and faster. The demographic is much the same as ours.

I don't think they left any cones on the bus!

Obviously they haven't heard of Less is More

BTW - That is very impressive! Amazing bike control!

this sounds like fun. its in charlotte, where my sister is too. I wanna do this to drive a 800 hp late model car. and sling it around. a four cylinder winder midget would be fun for me, a four banger guy. But a late model would scare the hell outta me! :lol:
