Throwback Thursday – 2007 Clipping Point: Hiro Sumida
Everything Drift.com: What FIRST got you interested in drifting before you became a driver?
Hiro Sumida: I have been an avid fan of rallying, especially the World Rally Championship (WRC). And I have been watching every single WRC rounds since 1993. That’s where my original interest in drifting came from. A little bit after that, I found the drifting article featuring Drift King Tsuchiya and Max Orido in their AE86 and that’s when I really wanted to try drifting myself. Still, my future dream is to compete at Rally de Corse.

You can give them a good upbringing, you can give them counseling but there is no guarantee your spawn is going to turn out to be Rhodes Scholar. You can do everything textbook but sometimes the will power of kids can break your spirit and they cut the leash.
