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 ? Contact the chaps @ MINT TYRES.COM Can my mates come out for passenger rides ? Yup How much does it cost ? It costs £60 in advance per driver Can i pay on the day ? Yes. Is it fully booked yet ? Once full i will post up 'Fully booked ' Help it has sold out - what do i do ? We hold back 10 tickets at every event as people often do not turn up. Advance tickets are £60 - Pay on day £70 Help i have booked but my ticket has not arrived ? If your ticket does not arrive in post in time just collect one from main office before you drive up to track Help my car has died / i got arrested / my GF is expecting / i crashed so i cannot make it - what should i do ? Phone the pod booking office to arrange to get a credit for a future DWYB What will the weather be like ? Check - WeatherForecast 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 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 !! Please do not be shocked if you are teased as a result. 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 its not vital for you to come along and have FUN Do I need lots of power/ Stage6.9chip/ SuperDuperHybridTurbo/ 2JZ Nope.
Heyup Lex, just looking at the feasibility of being able to make this... if I can, will Mint be in attendance & are they able to supply tyres on the day if required? I've got spares, but there are only so many 285/35/18's you can fit in a Skyline lol Will have to check with work first anyways! Cheers amigo...
5 booked Seat timeo Mint are there They will have 18s in stock - not sure that wide though any reason you have to use your mega wide rears to practice on can you not just whack some 17s and go have fun ? i will lend you a pair if need be mate
If anyone from South, Hants, Berks, Surrey, London would like their car transported there and back or maybe has a RWD car this isnt insured/tax'd/MOT'd, I'll take it there and back for £80. Peace of mind, chance to try crazy shit and still get home. So skint this is the only way I can skid inbetween BDC rounds, bargain deal for £40 each way.
ah sod it i cant afford it but im doing it anyway, last week was mega seat time city whats happened to everyone??!
