Also this "article" I wrote on my website a few months back might help:

Ditto for FAST -- no nitrous.

Yeah I got the impression that nitrous wouldn’t be allowed... I was planning on taking the bottle out before the event... but thanks for the heads up.

Also thanks for the links.

I hope to meet all of you and look forward to any advice on driving technique you might have.

No matter what you see Native Steve do, stick to using the forward gears.

I’ve got a question… what do we do about numbers? They have assigned me the number 13 when I registered, do I need to have the numbers on my car when I get there or do they provide them? Also if I need to get them how big do they need to be, and where do they need to be on the car?

I will probably have a bunch of other questions before the event, I just like to be prepared….

Thanks for your help

We don't have a minimum number size -- other events you go to might, just to make life easier on the courseworkers. We have some small magnetic number panels in the tech box; if there's not a "13" in there, I normally have some blue painter's tape in my kit.

Ask anything, here or send a note to wedrivefaster@yahoo.com
