I read a funny thing yesterday. We're working on a drift car and i was skimming through the NOPI rule book and came across a rule i think everybody should adopt.

"Rotary cars that repeatedly rev their engines to the point of annoyance shall be barred from competing. NOTE: NOPI DRIFT reserves the right to determine what constitutes “annoying.”

Learn something new every day. I always thought RPM had a pretty big effect on clutches and flywheels exploding. I drive a gay axle snapper though, i'm not used to big power like that.

As for the Nopi rule that needs to be added, still to this day I do not understand what the fascination is of revving them up to the moon in the pits.
