Pluspy
Anybody seen this video? I was lookin all over Wikipedia, and apparently some of the first mountain drifting in Japan was document and produced and the movie is called Pluspy. Heres from Wikiepdia:
A street racer named Keiichi Tsuchiya became particularly interested by Takahashi's drift techniques. Tsuchiya began practicing his drifting skills on the mountain roads of Japan, and quickly gained a reputation amongst the racing crowd. In 1977, several popular car magazines and tuning garages agreed to produce a video of Tsuchiya's drifting skills. The video, known as Pluspy, became a hit and inspired many of the professional drifting drivers on the circuits today. In 1988, alongside Option magazine founder and chief editor Daijiro Inada, he would help to organize one of the first events specifically for drifting.
And heres the article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drift_racing
