Great videos!

By the way, at the last event I went, most cars now how rollcages and helmets and fire extinguishers are mandatory, so they're concerned about security, which is good progress for the sport

The 2nd video was an example of what I am talking about.

1st off that wasn't drifting. Just some wannabees doing donuts.

2nd the safety was horrendous. Unprotected people only feet from cars doing donuts.

That is why I have turned down numerous offers to participate in motorsports activities in the DR.
Besides the obvious Liability issues I have to live with my conscience. I have seen people die on the track too many times and I refuse to be a part of anyone's death for the sake of stupidity.
