That was kind of embarassing... Drifting in the rain? I wouldn't say that those were "high performance drivers" or that most of the cars had over 500hp. 500 is about the number of cones they hit.
That "abandoned runway" is the most popular local racetrack these days. It's where the RCMP and Municipal police train during the week, and there's an event going on pretty much every weekend. Our club has our autocross day there every September.

drifting is nothing new. You should go to Skagit Speedway, 12 miles south of Bellingham and watch the outlaw cars.
