You can’t really go wrong with dirt track racing. It’s wheel to wheel action mixed with drifting and motorcycles. I think it’s enjoyable for the same reason rally racing is enjoyable: low traction means the fastest way around corners is controlled sliding. This is a video about the young gun of dirt track, Sammy Halbert. It starts with Sammy talking about how he’s involved in the sport and then it picks up with some awesome racing footage. One of the races is on an actual circuit instead of a plain oval. I point this out because there’s a section that includes a jump in the middle of a turn which results in air-drifting. The only other place in motorsport where you’ll see something like that is when the World Rally Championship runs the Urria stage in Rally Finland.
