Yeah, I plan to take it to the masterton drags in november, for my first time at that too.

If you think pressure is taking a FD to an autocross with no idea of how to control it, try being the dude rolling up to the staging line in a FD and not knowing how to

a) launch it properly
b) do a standstill burnout for the rotorheads in the crowd, to scrub in the tyres


jeeeeeze, the pressure!

I'll give the Charade a go. Trying to adjust the camber so it keeps all the wheels on the ground. Might have made it worse. :)

And how many people are gonna be coming? as many as are on the list, or everyone that's staying for the whole weekend? It'll be my first time if I can come, so I'm hoping there won't be too many people there.

Edit: Sorry didnt read about the time

These events are all about giving it a go, its more about having fun than having the best times.

The more people that take part in the event the better it will be.

Don't worry about how many people will be there :)

Course you will do well. Your car can go forwards take corners flat and stop properlike. Mine does party tricks like gross liftoff oversteer, pee on the nearest lamppost and then fall asleep on the living room floor. :lol:
