What is your favorite type of racing?

So how do you guys feel about drifting? The Domestic favorite to drift with is the fox 5.0. The "younger" crowed like the Nissean 240SX, because it is rear wheel drive with IRS and very light with about 180hp with a proper tune. Both cars are in the same price range, but I do prefer my fox body. I have rode with a couple of people while drifting and it is very, very intense. The sponsored pro guys do it at speeds of 80 plus mph. It is wicked intense.

Honestly, I recognize that drifting does take skill, but at the same time, its less like a "pure" sport, and more like one mixed with showboating. If the goal was only to cover the course in the shortest possible time, it would be pure racing (i.e.SCAA), but when style comes into it, it throws the whole thing.
But, I also dont follow organized sports, so either way, it doesent bother me.
I've slid around corners before, and yes, it was fun, but I wouldn't bother watching someone else doing it. Hence why I don't watch football etc. I also don't watch drag racing. The only reason I watch Rally is because the drivers are doing crap that I couldn't even imagine doing myself (90mph on a dirt road, w/ a mountain on one side and a cliff on the other? Um, no thanks, I know I'm not that good, LOL)
