Replying to: paisan (Apr 11, 2007 4:40 am) True....though I would consider it both a sport and an art. I would prefer it to be. There's more to cars than just speed, ya know? Replies to this message: paisan (Apr 12, 2007 3:34 am) rockylee (Apr 12, 2007 4:32 am)

Replying to: xaeta (Apr 11, 2007 8:38 pm) Absolutely, I agree there is more than speed, however, IMO in order for it to be considered a sport v. show, you need to have an objective, well definied way to determine a "winner" of said sporting event. It would be similar to a football game where the team that scored the most points didn't win, because the other team had a better looking Gatorade Splash of their coach! It's all good though, a lot of the HPDE and Road Racing events I go to have several things going on at the same time, including Drifting, Auto-x, Road Racing and HDPE, so you can actually go check em all out when you aren't on-track. -mike
