no but you arent an asshat either. I know you can drive your car and if something bad starts to happen i trust you know how to react to save it.
Some random guy challenges me to a street drift, theres all kinds of bad shit that can happen. The point of tandem is to get as close to the lead car as possible, to get as close to uncontrolled as possible.
Street racing is point A to point B. Pretty much as long as you dont get squirelly and stay in it, or brake 10 feet before a concrete barrier, nothing is going to happen. (away from traffic)
Drifting puts 2 cars on each others bumpers and asks you to go as fast as you can as out of control as you can . Ive been to pro competitions , theres wrecks EVERY round.
How many wrecks were at IFO last weekend ? :P
