few tips wanted for first time drifting

[podge07]

hey all im heading to my first dwyb day at santa pod for usc in august and was just wanting to know is there tyres there for sale and also as im only a beginner will i be given the chance to learn on track wit being out wit higher classes who will be drifting around me at a lot higher speeds also i have a s13 and skyline rear brake set up wit out an hydrali hand brake will tis be suffient for drifting or will i be best of clutch kicking and finally ill be running 18s on the front and 16s on the back will tis cause any bad in balance in the car or would i be better putting 16s on the front as well
thanks podge

p.s wats there to hit just cones i believe hopefully

Yeah there are tyres there, something like £5 each + £2 disposal.
You can get instruction from the marshals, they will ask in the briefing who wants help, you start in the figure 8 playpen and move up to kidney track then big track so you wont get people drifting round you. only cones to hot.
with the wheels, as long as the actual radiuses are simular you will be fine ie high profile on the 16 low on the 18s.
Have fun tomorrow, see you there.
