Qualifying is kind of like auditioning for a seat in a big orchestra...
You have to perform at your best EVEN under pressure... control your nerves and just perform flawlessly to get a chance to play in that orchestra.
This rules out those that run all day and crack under pressure or get that one bad run.. it's all about handling the pressure and being as consistent as you were all day.
Sure there are mechanical failures and SHIT HAPPENS.. but that's part of racing in general. Keep your shit tight and clean, you reduce the risk of 'shit happens'.

Pressure it part of racing. If you can't perform during the judged runs, you fail.

you all have valid arguements expect drifting isn't racing, it's what we do cause racing is BORING.

I'm sorry, but when the media stops calling it "drift racing" then I'll stop calling it racing.
