Bravest man on the drift track? The one with the beard of courage

Bill Baldwin works as a flag marshal at drifting events -- requiring him to stand down trackside ready to alert a caution to drivers who are sideways and even facing away from him as they pass by. I've never seen someone put their face so close to a race that their beard almost touches the car. In this short film by Keep Drifting Fun from the Formula Drift at Long Beach, Calif., Baldwin explains the attraction of the sport, and how the close shaves from flying debris haven't trimmed his enthusiasm yet.
