What ispired drifting compitiions is those whacy rice burneres in japan. they were running canyon and mountain races. quickest way down was to slide a little. then one day some said in a southern japanese accent "hey yall, watch this" and insted of sliding a little bit slid a whole lot. then some other guy sais if he can do it I bet I can do it better. next thing you know you got a bunch of japanese kids shouting rebel yells into the night tring to almost kill themselves.

If you take out the faniful filler, thats how it started.
