1. Not really, if you dont know even the most basic car control, chances are you'll flip and die, or at the very minimum suck. My advice if you do come to this, start with doing donuts and learn basic car control then move to the sweepers on the course layout and completely ignore the first 3rd gear sweeper. I would drive desoto first, especially because Im sure sometime soon Jen will post another desoto drift practice and you can get your shit down.

2. If you worrying about how strict tech is, chances are you should use your judgement on which car to bring and have someone who isnt a retard look over your BEFORE leaving the house.. they have a good video on what to look for before even going to the event.

Thanks Sean. If there's another Desoto between now and this event, I'll go and see what I can learn. I really don't think the black car in its current state can pass tech lol. Loose hoses and vaccum lines all over the place lol. Who has a lot of experience with single cams and would want to tell me where everything goes?

The number sticker will probably be different this time, but yeah I don't see why not. Numbering is one of the last things done, so just remind me with like 2 weeks to go.

lol I don't really see the advantages of a dual cam swap out-weighing the time/money.
