i would consider midget racing like the world of outlaws drifting, and theyve been doing that before japan had a car company. also circle track racing is another form of racing, another thing, just in the last 10-15 years the japs had a car capable to even break the tires loose for that long, so i deff think the us was the first one to do this sort of racing

We have been doing it ALOT longer, like mentioned before, POWER SLIDE. The main drive to learn how to do it was Rally. They use it a hell of alot to shave course times and keep momentum through tight curves.

Mainstream Rally events started in the early 70's. Japs actually started drifting in the mid-80's in the local mountain passes. There was a show documenting it a couple years ago. It got really popular over there in the early 90's then came over here 2002-2003 and BLEW UP.

i dont know about that , i still remember the early Mangos , S57s , Prince 2000Gts, S40 Glorias , and all them cars in the moutains and Grand Prixs
most of which start in 57-60 , but evolved and dont forget the Hakosukas that start in 69
