I did go to D1... and yes, it was fun for the first year or so! But I am now seeing the repercussions of world-wide popularity. I love STREET/TOUGE racing and drifting... but it's STUPID when you and a million friends do it! Was there that many problems with street racing 15yrs ago before a certain movie came out? Nope!

There were tons of 'small' get-togethers at small tracks before D1 even dreamed of cashing in! I'm not so sure the same 'fans' you are talking about are the same people I know...
