Default Drifting in Reverse

Can you do it? I googled it and other than a video game didn't find anything....

Anyone seen anyone do it or have a video? I was reading a thing on the chitwoods and it looked like they could but it was hard to tell from stills.

I was reading a book in it was a picture of 3 chitwood cars on a track. The first one and the 3rd one were going forward. The middle one was going backwards.

I don't know much about drifting but have you ever seen anyone do that? With the steering wheels in the back and the power in the front and in control? Are there any drifters that flip a car around and use that maneuver then flip it back? That's what the picture indicated they were doing.

Oh, I think I know what he's asking. I've seen those commercial cars with the powered wheels on the front and steering wheels on the back. Are you asking if they can drift since its like a backwards RWD car? IMO, no, because most/all of those cars are diesel and you really need tons of horsepower to keep the tires moving.

I've tried to drift a FWD golf cart in reverse before. No luck.
