Default Stock S14 + D-Day= ???

Hello
I'm going to be heading to the D-Day event, but kinda scared about drifting, he abuse it'll put on my daily driver and my ability to drift. But does drifting use alot of tread? Also anyone wanna give me some tips or advice? I'll be coming from jacksonville and expect to be down there friday night.
Another ? how far is XAT racing from the event?
Thanks

you can wear out a set of rears in less than an hour if you are hauling alot of ass and get a crazy angle.

the surface also depends on it.

the fronts usually last much longer.

when your starting out you probably won't use much tire. that is if you are actually trying to drift, not doing donuts and powersliding, your tires should last you a while. The first drift event I went to (in cali) I didn't even use half the tire all day. They were very high treadlife tires though...

Anymore i'm lucky to have the tires last a night of drifting (say .5 -1 hour of actual drifting), but I've been at it a while now....

I'm the primer grey corolla GTS (watch my vid in another post here on tr) look me up at DDay, I'll try to help and give tips...

I just wanted to add that the s14 in that video is stock (with a vlsd) so your car is perfectly capable...
