Hey, I know that game. 4 black guys and this white chick we're playing it on the Spice Channel several nights ago. She sounded like she was having fun.

Gah! Your friend is a graduate of the Skip Barber Racing School. I'm going to a trackday in April, and if I run quick enough I could get a sponsorship to attend a 3-day, $4,000 course at Infineon Raceway with Skip Barber.

Squeeky, if you're into racing you should watch initial D, unless you do already. It's anime, I'm not sure if that's your thing, but I enjoy it and I don't usually like anime.

drifting != racing.

Welcome back! :P Remember me?

Eh, i'm not really into Anime either, but I watch The Boondocks on Adult Swim, and that isn't an anime per se, but it shares the animation characteristics of an anime.

I'll check it out, i've heard plenty of people talk about Initial D. I thought it was a band or something.

You can. If you want to lose, that is.

Maybe I should've said that I doubt touge is the type of racing Squeeky is doing. Now don't get me wrong, I've seen some Initial D and I think it's pretty good, but...ah well, whatever.

You still don't drift during a track race unless you want to lose.

I like to watch Rally races. You know the kind of races that are on paved roads, gravel, and dirt. I've seen them drift in rally races.

Touge Ridge in Japan? The most insane drifting road in all of the world

I like to get sideways as much as the next guy, but my talent is in getting through the corners quick. Not getting through them in a stylish manner.

WRC is wicked.

Rally is awesome because the weather, terrain, roads, etc...are all unpredictable. These guys go out, and drive as hard as they can possibly push their highly tuned cars around those turns and bends. What's even more insane, is the navigator is constantly giving the driver track notes, 5-6 turns in advance.

Imagine having to remember the next 5 turns in advance as you maneuver through them:

Easy right 5, into a long left, over bridge, hard right downhill, hairpin left across the railroad tracks.

The drivers can process that information and make the turns, some blind, at very high speeds and angles. Makes me hot

That was my first thought aswell. Just a lot of the music in the show is crazy fast paced eurobeat kinda stuff, you don't really find the style in many other places, so the music is often referred to as "initial D music" or something like that.
