I needed something to make my day today and I found it. This happened in Thunder Valley recently. I scraped it off ESPN just a few minutes ago.

Awesome video. Both of them were testing their mad drifting skills y0! After a ride like that I'd probably need a new pair of boxer shorts.

Talk about "pucker factor". I think you'd get a little tense under those conditions
