Okay Driftworks fans, we want your help with this new segment! Later this week at Formula Drift Long Beach I’ll be meeting with Dai Yoshihara and Fredric Aasbø to pick their brains with the questions that YOU ask! That’s right, we’re giving you the opportunity to ask your favorite Formula Drift drivers anything you’d like.
Given each events circumstance, I’m going to try and run this same segment as part of my FD coverage from each event that I attend (meeting with different drivers at each event).
Please leave your questions in the comments section below with the following format:

Do you feel that drifting as a competition, is growing to become something that not the average person can afford or do, as the sport its self is becoming more and more competitive and there for more becoming more and more costly?

Driver: Yoshihara or Aasbø
Question: On the arrival of Daigo Saito’s 1200hp SC430, do you think FD should put some kind of restriction on power output or do they think its good (or even fair) for FD to have cars with such different power outputs competing against one another?
Good stuff so far guys!
