ALSO if you plan on coming out to drift:

TECH
same as an auto-x. Make sure all your wheel studs and lug nuts are in good working order, not crossthreaded or missing. The lugnuts must fully rotate 4 times while threaded before getting snug. Spacers are allowed as long as that is met.

BATTERY TIE DOWN. Make sure you have one. Ghettofabbing is awesome, as long as it does the job.

Also make sure your cooling system is up to par. when your sliding at >45* angle the front of the car tends to not get air sometimes. Its a good idea to make sure that 1) your fans are in good working order and 2) you have something up to the task in the radiator. For these type of events I personally reccommend water+purple ice(or similar)

Also make sure to bring plenty of tires. I personally would reccommend at LEAST 6 or so rear tires with %60 or more tread to drift all day. I personally am planning on trying to bring about 12 rear tires, but I am also probably goign to be driving all day non stop.

Also if you have new wheels, make sure to fit them before hand, one guy shoed up a while back, wheels didnt fit. And dont forget your wheellocks if yo have them!
