I know they are both competitions, but drifting isn't racing. Yes I have seen a dirt track race, and they get sideways as hell. However, they aren't going for the biggest slip angles or holding the drift, they want to get around the turn as fast as possible and get as much traction as they can when they exit. In drifting and dirt track racing, usually the one with best form and biggest balls wins. However, in dirt track racing, the winner is always the guy in front.

Sliding is an event that often occurs during racing. Sliding itself is not racing.
