Default newb at the drift.

I had a few questions about dday 3..

If im not too hot at drifting, would this be a good place to learn?
plus is there any age restriction? im 16.

Would really like to see my s13 out there.

Being 16 is not a problem as long as you have a valid driver's license and a parental consent. (in the form of a signed minor waiver that you can get by emailing me at kyle@dgtrials.com ).

and yes it is a great place to learn. it is a practice day, theres no competition, its all about getting in as much seat time as possible and learning your ass off.

Yes, surrounded by grass. I'll point out any dangerous points in the drivers meeting.

lol...no theres not really anything to hit unless you're really trying to hit something. you guys shouldnt have any problems keeping the cars on the track, but dropping wheels is expected.

and no you wont get yelled at for dropping wheels, spining out, or just overall sucking. its a practice day.

but if you continue to drive like a complete assshat, you will get yelled at, by at least me.

but if your'e trying, and listening to the people in command, and genuinely trying, and improving.

then theres' no harm and nothing gonna stop you from getting better

I agree with all of them Xcess.. its a good place, but we need to make sure your car works as a "car" first, and a "fun machine" second.. See how the head gasket and other repairs affect your wallet before you go thinking about entry fees and tires
