Drifting is possible regardless, though you might find it challenging for the initial bits until you "get it down." That said, the AT is no exception. From my understanding, there's an AT SRT10 that signed up for this event too - and that's going to be interesting given the weight of the car, etc etc...

I hit a cone SQUARE at the last event - could have sworn I put a big DENT in the car. Felt like it too. 15 minutes later with some cleaner / polish and a hand towel, looked like nothing happened. I deliberately left the big tires and metal barrels out of this course. Only thing you'd possibly hit are the plastic cones. This is by far the safest course you could probably drive on.

Hit me up if you'd like to register. There's only 2 open spots left.
