Can't wait for this. Don't forget to bring unwrapped toys for Toys for Tots. Let's help out the kids that wouldn't have the Holiday Season they should this year. Show the outsiders that drifters have hearts.

[David48]

You obviously don't have a heart offering a needy kid $20 for a pig lip

[Chankisonfire]

Is there a course layout yet?

[S.E.A.N.]

might be attending this. Since i'm a Desoto newb and in a completely new car, does anyone mind letting me know if there is a section you can practice on in an open pad or will we be around walls? i jus wanna feel my car out before i go tryin anythin crazy. not trying to wreck the kouki.

[David48]

You should definitely go. I did my first one on stock suspension, open diff. You won't do very well at all but it'll be fun regardless. If you stick to the infield you won't hit anything. If you do go find me and I'll help you out.

[S.E.A.N.]

i have a VLSD jus OEM suspension. KA has nice bolt ons should be fun. I will find you for sure, i've done plenty of sliding in my day jus not with this car. i had an S13 a couple years ago and used to have alot of fun in that so im sure ill get the hang fast enough jus dont wanna chance hurtin this car.

Things i need to acquire before event:

-Battery Tie Down
-Drift spares

Everything else should be okay. i do have a 10" sub in the trunk but it is screwed down. do i need to remove it before i can slide? do i need a helmet? anyone care to link me info on what's required to participate?

[David48]

It'd help to remove it but it's not required. All you need is functioning seat belts, a helmet, and make sure you have no major leaks.
