Watching "Toyo Tires Drfting at San Jose" on speed

I don't get the point. Sure I can see sliding through the turns but fishtailing on the straights? Why? I wanna see them comin down at 150 and doing a drift around the turn.

Its just another way to show super control of the car.

you probably watched a drift show off, but not competition... I've been to every Drift championship in california, at Irwindale where they reach drift speeds of 80+ miles per hour and also at California speedway w/ speeds of 100mph... it's easy to expect more when you are not aware of what it takes to have such car control
