My Mate Wants To Get Into Drifting

[cogs]

Hey guys, was speaking to my mate tonight and he told me he wants to sell his wrx to buy a drift car and a trailer because he wants to get into drifting (as in entering drift competitions held on a track). I know drifting is expensive but he's a panel beater so he can fix the car himself if he crashes, he's already got a guy he knows who is willing to be his mechanic and he is going to see if he can get sponsorship from a tyre place because he's good mates with the owner. He used to get to practice on a private track he had access to but at the moment he doesn't get to drift at all so he will have to practice a bit before going in any competitions I imagine.

So basically I'm just wondering if anyone can give me some advice etc which might help my mate out?? Any other things to consider, hidden costs etc would greatly be appreciated. This is his dream at the moment so I want to help him achieve it but also make sure he isn't getting his hopes up.

What is needed to get access to use racetracks to practice? How do you enter in these drift comps? I'm not sure what else to ask so just any info you think might help would be great!

I'm gueesing he is NSW also?

Best place to start out is on the Initial Drift Website. they are the major organisers in NSW. their website will give you most of the answers.

Any that you don't get, come back and ask, I might be able to help!

Dan.
