[Tigers] Formula D

[Rense, Mark (GE Indust, ConsInd)]

I have been recently exposed to a new motorsport call Formula D, or
Drifting. This involves competition to see how long you can keep your
car sideways and tires smoking through a set of curves. You are judged
on style, drift time, quantity of smoke, and crowd reaction. In other
words, much like the X Games, the rules are pretty much inscrutable to
us old racer types . However, I think this might be an excellent venue
for our Tigers, seeing as how we work so hard NOT to keep them from
getting tail-out sideways in the turns. I suggest we should discuss
including this activity as part of our United autocrosses.  :>)

Do a Google on "drifting", you'll be surprised. The tire companies must
love it.
