Lots - rule of thumb is as many as you can fit in car as 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 ? Its costs £60 in advance per driver 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 dont turn up. Advance tickets are £60 - Pay on day £70 What will weather be like ? Check - BBC Weather | Wellingborough What happens if it rains ? DWYB will run regardless - you will use less tyres and more petrol 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.
