I think the media is pimping drifting enough these days, no need to inspire mk2 owners here to go out and smash their cars into cliffs. I used to think drifting was kind of cool, now its becoming so mainstream that its getting kind of annoying. I guess we could have a racing folder though, but we have so many already, doesn't really matter to me either way. But no drifting folder, that would just attract the wrong kind of crowd and give people the wrong kind of idea about this community. We're more into preserving mk2s then destroying them.
Amen to that. I don't see a "drifting" section happening anytime soon.
As for autocrossing, there have been posts here and there about it. A lot of Mk2 owners are into it, and I think it's cool. There have been posts in the "General Chat" section. If the resident autocross guys would like a section, perhaps we'll look into doing that. Or perhaps a section for Auto-crossing and 1/4 mile racing - legitimate racing in a controlled environment, with the promotion of doing it safely.
But...the whole "Drift" thing - I don't think that's a direction we really want to head in with this forum. The whole "Fast & The Furious" thing has never been what this group is about, and I'd hate to see that start now.
