This weekend Me and Nick will be talking to TSN, and hopefully i could have an understanding on what the media’s look on Drifting. Also, for corporations to dump money into drifting i think they will need a broader advertizing venue. Personally i think the CSCS events have some serious potential, But DMCC seems to already have huge media outlet… in Quebec.

Well before I say what I’m gonna say about drifters, just be dead honest with yourself.

What’s the point of all these companies pouring all this money into drifting for like 50+ local “drifters” here in Ontario?

I hate to group drifters here all in one group but wouldn’t you say that it’s made up of mostly broke ass kids who pretty much live pay cheque to pay cheque. Most are probably still in school and work a part-time job just to support their sport.

It would be stupid of companies to put money into a sport and advertise when there really isn’t a “market” if you’d like to call it.

Flame me all you one but deep down, I know you agree with me in some ways.

Drifting to me is an art and it’s like graffiti.  
Sure it may seem cool to some but it’s something that really isn’t publically accepted.
