Well aside from the 3rd movie being all about drifting..HULK HOGAN, YES HULK HOGAN annouched last night on the best damn sport show period that his son 15 year old NICK HOGAN will be driving the MOPAR VIPER IN D1 THIS 2006 DRIFT SEASON......WTF MATE....all i can say is GOD HELP THIS SPORT....it's going completely down hill. Nick Hogan itsn't legally allowed to drive any car on any street in the united states, yet he is now considered to be a pro-D1 driver.

son of a.....

well i guess when youre rich you can do anything.....have you seen his supra? ...i hate that kid...

>

lol yeah seen it - thats just not right is it I shud have his supra

>

I don't see wuts wrong with him drifting, why shouldn't he becuase his dad is famous??? Either way that kid has a nicer car then almost everyone on this site and its a damn shame he's had it for a damn while too. His Supra is big pimpin as well.

>

its a shame because 1) hes a poser. 2) He pretends to work on his own car when he has not really put an ounce of his own work into building it 3) He cant even legally drive it and 4) a car that like deserves to be driven by a real driver, not a rich kid who probably cant even heel-toe :-(

i think it'll be better to wait and see how he does in his first few events before we bash the young kid. i say if his first 2 season suck then we should bash him for that and not for being a rich kid.

I'll bash on him when he bashes the Viper into a wall..

So you know for a fact he doesnt work on his own cars? He is in his garage an awful lot on the Hogan knows best shows. Don't say stuff when you dont know the real facts.

*drops head in shame*....why is it, if you have money, you can buy ur self w/e you want?? I love how his son, who doesnt even have/cant even go for his drivers license, gets his D1 license, and gets to drive a factory backed fully built drift car, yet...you get guys like my buddys, so spend every single paycheck they get on their cars, are always in debt, and are probably like 10 times better than hulk Jr. This sport used to be cool, when it was only like..maybe 300 people in north america doing it. Now, every one who has a rwd car is duin it. My friend just started in his beat up old 86 town car. My respect for this sport is slowly packing its bags.

edit: whats next? Lance Bass couldnt go into space, so hez gonna drive in the JGTC??

I always thought drifting was silly.

Agreed!

I'm with you totally..i remember back in 2002 when i first got into drifting(yet i know drift in the us started in 1999) there was only a handfull of people at the track, everyone knew everyone it was so much fun..it was a family...now, just like you said, anyone with a rwd car, or cash will jump at this...my 240 has been for sale for awhile, and now im kinda glad that i decided to sell it. And i would like to add that im not sell it because of faf3 or this nick hogan crap, but im in debt..like you mentioned about valo, and i need money like a whore needs a$$

you know, if he is good enough to get into the D1 and get the backing of a MAJOR sponsor like dodge, along with taking the helm of their flagship mopar viper in the competition over the previous driver, the great Sam Hubinnette, im going to give him the benifit of the doubt. I doubt dodge and mopar would allow someone who cant handle car in one of thier more high profile racing bids.

As for the age, Ken Gushi started competing at the age of 14-15, even before he could drive as well. Now at 18 hes one of the best drivers on the D1.

edit: it looks like Mopar is going to offically anounce it April 8
