Hand brake on cabinets?

I was always told the only time to use those was when parked on a hill, so your car won't roll away. I'd actually be scared to pull that thing while driving. To me, it would be the same as shifting while moving (in an automatic that is, never drove a manual), or turning the car off when in drive.

You really aren't supposed to. The E-brake isn't much of a brake... it's more of a Fred Flintstone putting your feet on the ground deal. Also most of them have a latch, so when you pull it, it locks in place unless you depress the button again.
Actually why am I explaining... just read here:

DRIFTING becomes a factor.

One of my favorites is "grid". Myself along with a few friends have definitely seen the sun comes up a few times doing drifting competitions in that game. It's a lot of fun.

sega rally 2 had a handbrake, that was used for drifting through
some of the turns. i didn't use it much.. but to get really good
times, it was critical.
not sure how it was implemented.
later
