Ok. I've had one person (HiPsI, Who knows what he's talking about as far as i know about drifting) say i'd be ok at AMS. However, a few others have said it's just going to be all high speed.
Circumstances:
-It's My First Track Event. I have been doing it on the street when i can find nice spots (not something i do when people are around, i actually do it pretty responsibly so please don't think im just a punk hitting crowded intersections.. IM NOT)
-My Car Is Stock: It's a 1988 Mazda Rx7 GTU. It has LSD, and ok stock suspension. Motor is Stock minus a cone air filter.
-If i come down, i may not be able to slide 3rd gear. HiPsI mentioned i won't have to. Anyone else want to chime in?
- *I MIGHT Have Some suspension work before the event. Haven't decided if i want Ground control Coilovers and some stock replacement struts OR the Racing Beat Suspension Kit that comes w/ RB lowering springs (1" drop and 20% stiffer), And Front and Rear Sway Bars with mounting hardware included.
-RAcing Beat PAckage: $430
-GC coilovers:$350 + 25 shipping= $375. But add Shocks.
So not much more. With the suspension i wouldn't be worried about the event, BUT i might now have it. Feel Free to Chime in. Ultimately i may just enter anyway and see what happens. But if it's going to be next to impossible, i may stray away. I have the money ready for the event, I just don't know quite yet. I really want to meet some of the local drifters!
