Its a competition - you can signup just to practice during warm-up and whatnot.

I can't even recall seeing any rx8s that take drifting seriously asside from Tony's which is not your typical rx8

So if I wanted to do this, which would mean driving all the way down from SF how long do I get to practice?

I have never tried drifting other than making very sharp "u-turns" in my old S14 and the 8.

Is it even a good idea to learn in the 8 and does anyone want to teach a newbie?
