  1. I don't have a great fondness for the sport of drifting, but I would love to see them competing on this section of road!

  2. It reminds me of hanging out in slot car establishments in Fresno in the 1960s, when there was a boom for such things. Though they had nothing this elaborate.

  3. This reminds me of the beloved "Tail of the Dragon" road on Tennessee/North Carolina border. It has 318 curves, which is why cyclists make pilgrimages there every year.
