Lots - rule of thumb as many as you can fit in car. There is nothing worse than being at drift day with a working car, empty track and no tyres Where can i get tyres from ? Rent spare rims ?

Yup - they must wear a seat belt and be signed on which is free for passengers How much does it cost ? It costs £70 per driver Can i pay on the day ? No. Is it fully booked yet ?

Book for the next one Doh it has sold out can i add my name to the reserve list please ? No. There is no reserve list.

Phone the pod booking office to arrange to get a credit for a future DWYB What will the weather be like ? Check - Weather Forecast What happens if it rains ? DWYB will run regardless - you will use less tyres and more petrol I want to have a go at the EDC 08 track but not sure about it ? HELP!!! Just ask one of the marshals who will hold back the queue and let you out for a few laps at your own pace My car is ridiculously noisy what happens if i get told it is too loud to drift ? You will be given a credit for another day DWYBs keep selling out weeks in advance why don't Pod put on more dates ? The number of noisy days has been agreed with the local council I cannot be bothered to read the 1st post so i'm going to ask a question that has been covered in the 1st post. I need the post count !! Its all about the seat time , not the post count !1!11!!1 Do i need a welded diff / Fancy JDM 2-way ? a diff that locks both wheels will help - however it is not vital for you to come along and have FUN Do I need lots of power/ Stage6.9chip/ SuperDuperHybridTurbo/ 2JZ Nope.
As soon as they are released they will be on the site - calling the office to book may be a short cut and allow buy them sooner. I will know for sure after DWYB on the 15th
That looks like the full list to me, 14 dates the same as 2014. Two per month here and there instead of any June, July & August dates.
Email has been sent to the boss. so i should be at each date drifting 90% off them. next year is gonna be good
Booked in for jan for first time at pod. Where/what rpm do you measure for db limit? Anyone know if an rb25det with shotgun is over 105db? Lol
Richy84, I don't know 100% but I imagine the June, July and August dates have been dropped due to the sheer number of modified car and drag racing events in that period. Some drag events start on a Thursday and go on until the Monday. Plus June, July and August locals will be using their gardens and sitting outside. So I think it's a mix of both. Good news is there are still 14 DWYB's in 2015. I think there is an APP for noise Db testing Ian. Santa Pod's Resident RWYB & DWYB Photographer.
Okay cool, I've got the app but how does the testing work? It isn't really clear, Is it static? If so which one, 0.5m or 2? Is it drive by? Just don't want to turn up and get turned away till another day, what a waste
Yeah that's sound heard that from a few people, just thought there would be somethin in place of they threaten to turn you away, Will chuck a silenced decat on anyways to be on the safe side lol
Great day yesterday, smoothly ran, great atmosphere and some awesome cars! How else can get in touch for pics as the link above doesn't work? Cheers[emoji106]
