I've been to Englishtown for a drifting event, but never watched any actual racing on it. The track looks like it has about four different configurations, so idk which one they'll run.

I've never raced either, but I've heard that if it's your first time doing this, "don't go out there and try to set records. Go as fast as you feel in control of, be consistent and faster lap times will come."

Good luck and have fun out there!

thanks for the input guys, they make u take a mandatory 8 hr class the day of the event for first timers and then u get a "track liceneses" from them. So they deff try to make it safe.

If that's the case then i'd say go for it. When is it? Maybe I'll make the drive down there.
