I have to admit while this thread has gone completely off topic, it is very interesting. Possibly this should be moved to an off topics discussion where we can further our understandings of why so much of the global community dislikes us . I would like to submit a link that I liked very much. John, I look forward to your feedback.

Most of you all need to grow up. Adding a smiley face changes jack. You are either "joking" or not. None of us are stupid enough to confuse a joke with an insult! I am a proud american and while I do believe that America is the greatest country by far, I do not feel that some of the comments from the Americans on this thread are very warranted. Part of being the "best" country is in carrying yourself with the class and open mindedness of our forefathers.

I'm out of this thread and from many that you all get into. My 2 year old boy can jaw any of you into the ground and just for clarification....THAT IS NO JOKE!

Safer than the track? You must be joking. Any credibility you *might* have has evaporated.

i'd like to see you navigate around some idiot jdm drifter fools loosing control all over the place while at the limits of adhesion yourself. clearly you have not seen a lot of track time. i go to the track when i have time, with whatever group is holding the session and sometimes it can get pretty stupid out there. consider all variables before attempting to post smack!

Excuse me, but you should follow your own advice.

Saying that midnight canyon carving at 10/10ths is safer than being on the track is just stupid. When you consider the variables that come into play when driving @ 10/10ths on the STREET it is a very potentially risky proposition.

If you are dealing with JDM drifting style drivers on your track days than you are definitely going on the wrong track days and/or driving in the beginner/slow groups.

I go with IRDC, ProFormance and A-J Racing up here in the PacNW. None of that silly ***** is tolerated.
