Saw this for the first time live. imagine Barrel riding but in cars. Its not a race but you get points for getting closest to walls and cones and stuff. Like Baseball, it looks lame on TV but is pretty cool live. There was one Viper here but it didnt run but this was only the Press Day demo. Its this weekend in Long Beach. Wonder if a real wheel NA old Mopar could do this?

Yeah, so when im on my way around in the Dart, i always drift the Corners where i can! Is alot of Fun! And i don´t have any stiff suspention or stiffer torque rods or so...
Try it, learn it, love it!
 
Drifting ??? Ha!! We called that winter driving in MN ! It was just part of the needed driving skills when I learned to drive in the 70s in Minnesota ! My 73 Dart Sport could go side ways for 3 city blocks....
 
I went skiing with my sisters boyfriend who was a midget sprint car racer and we did this around every snowy corner on the way up, scared the crap out of me.
 
It's certainly doable, but how much do you want to spend to make it happen? And more than likely, it would not be terribly competitive.

Here is someone doing it and competiting with a 2nd gen camaro

IMO you'd probably need a rack/pinion because the stock boxes are so sloppy and to stiffen up the chassis
