I'm just gonna throw this one out here for everyone then. Drifting is slower then braking. To drift anything the rear wheels must have a greater slip angle then your front wheels. A drift is essentially a controlled slide, to do a drift you must break the rear wheels grip of the surface and make them slide out farther then your front wheels. In racing, unless this race is Formula D, then drifting should never be used unless you make a rookie mistake and go into a corner with too much speed. This is the only time a drift should be used at all, to shake off excessive corner entry speed. If you have one car brake and one car drift a track with drivers of equal skill in each, then the car that brakes will always be faster. With a drift, not only is it just about impossible to hit the apex of a corner perfectly, you cannot regain grip instantly. So when you go through a turn you may want your grip back, but unless you are a pro drift racer, chances are you probably don't know when you're going to get it back. So I'm sorry if I sound like an asshole, but I doubt you set a course record drifting. That just doesn't happen and it never will.

Don't doubt. Just drive. =] Practice practice practice. I knew Sam Hubinette before he was pro and he spent tons of time in parking lots just going through tires and practicing. You can do it, but you need a lot of practice.
Can you race pocket bikes on go kart tracks? Cause I'll totally race you Tony on my 50.

Yeah I do. What class and what car? And yeah, I met him when he was in Cali doing stunt driving. I was getting a tour of the studio he was working at and he was just relaxing and he was wearing a Dodge Viper T-Shirt. Our tour group took a look around his studio and I talked to him for a long time. He's a legit dude. We chilled.scooter brian said:
