Motorsport???

Let's see, 4 ft. of snow in 7 days, Must be almost spring. Superbowl is over, Must almost spring. Daytona in 3 weeks, Must be almost spring.


Spring means Motorsports. NASCAR, NHRA Drag Racing, OPS and the dragway will be running this year. But the one motorsport we are forgetting is the rage of Japan and somewhat of a sport here in the USA and that is Drifting.


That sport entails sliding around corners sideways allowing your car to "drift" thru the corner and do this as long and as often as possible. Points are taken away from your "run" if you allow your car to run in a straight line for to long. There a few versions of this that include more than one car on the course at a time and the fastest time with most style points takes home the prize.


Hmm a race with style points and time as a factor, while at the same time sliding your car thru a corner.


We have a New England version of that sport. The points for style are given for the look of horror on your passengers face. More points are given if you spin completely around in more than 360 degrees without tossing your cookies and the prize winner is the one that does all this without messing his or her pants.


We call it driving in winter.
