Good Luck!

Depends on the organization too!

Yah... I have seen some scary stuff... Sadly most of it has been at the amateur drift events... Some of them look like they made it in their driveway with exhaust tubing...

It's not our booth. It's our neighbors. We don't do the painting, so I'm not sure how well it works. Seems to be good. Our cars always turn out awesome.
