The term "Touge" refers to the mountain passes of Japan. While racing down these narrow, winding roads cars began to lose traction and began sliding through corners. Eventually, drivers would control their slide and try to keep it sideways as long as possible and the sport of drifting was soon born in the land of the rising sun.
Here in the USA, drivers have been running the canyons for many years mainly gripping the turns for speed and pleasure. Before the sport of drifting exploded in America, the "Touge" was one of the few outlets for drivers to practice and hone their drifting skills. Today, you will find a wide variety of groups who run the "Touge", some come for the pure enjoyment of challenging the mountain while others come to battle to be the best.

How gay is it that a bunch of japanese teens recklessly driving on mountain roads and losing control became a "sport"?
