for the Horse Thief Mile event you should be able to drift decently. hold a long drift, and connect to another the oposite way. You can drift the course as single corners, but we want to make sure there are not alot of spin outs.
We say these HTM events are for intermediate to advanced.
If you are a begginer, I would suggest the Touke event that is at WSIR the same day. At the "balcony" track. that way its a safer and easier course made for beginers through advance. and pop over to the HTM track to say hi and maybe get some ride alongs
