Drift

The effective travelling distance of a suspension barrel between the stage and the underside of the grid. The drift will be variable depending on the depth of a scenic piece suspended beneath the barrel. ie the comment "there isn't enough drift" will usually mean that a piece cannot be flown out sufficently high to mask.
