Re: He is a Drifting God !!!
most of the stuff used for drifting are rally principles (so is the gutter run - dropping the wheels of the track on the inside of the corners shaves a couple of seconds of times and makes them go a heck of a lot faster)

Re: He is a Drifting God !!!
Umm... drifting in a rally is harder than drifting on a track. Mostly because a rally driver has to hit his marks exactly and still go fast. A doriftu driver doesn't have to go particularly fast, he just has to go pretty.
Also, Earnhardt's last wreck wasn't all that bad. He did go nose-first into a wall at a very high rate of speed, but it was tangential. However, he was not exactly in the prime of health and had no safety equipment other than the rollcage, the 5-pt, and the open-face helmet. If he'd had the Hans device, a closed-face helmet, a neck brace, and a modern seat, he wouldn't have died.
