i don't know about that, vtec kidd has a well put argument, but i don't see how drifting doesn't attract customers to certain business. yes its true, people wont buy hankooks performance tires to go burn them on a drift course and yes no one in their right mind will put 10000 dollars into a car that they plan on running into the wall anyway but the average jack*** on the street has or will see a car drifting and say "that's pretty cool". the average no name guy that sees that, will be the one that goes and buys all that trash that says jdm because he wants people to see his car and wants them to believe that he too can do what they do. the "sport" itself will definitely crash i believe but as far as drifting goes i really don't see it going away. not because of hit movies or because of sweet shows that people go to. because people slide for the fun of sliding. its not so great as a sport but if you think of it as an attraction, people do go to these things to have a good time, and as far as im concerned the sponsorships and companies investing into these have and will market not to drivers or drifters but to that jack*** watching him drive a sweet-looking car. I have noticed in my area alot of 240sx's that are all f'ed-up with jdm body kits sweet name badging and these people dont know how any of what they are buying works but they have the stuff. so i think drifting markets pretty well. just my two cents
