I can't imagine anyone that was even vaguely interested in drag racing slamming the appeal of drifting. Just supplant "how well will your car go sideways" with "how quick can your car go 1300 feet". Neither makes any sense when compared to what a car is actually about: turning BOTH ways; accelerating, stopping, sliding, up hills, down hills; on camber, off camber.
