That's what we all say in the beginning. Then you get a taste and you want MORE.
Once you do a few DEs, the next step is wanting to mod your car. Some guys then dive into all kinds of expensive changes. The best thing you can do is participate in several events without modding your car. The biggest improvements in time will be you getting better vs any mod you could do to your car. So resist that urge for a while.
But once you do 1 DE, there's no going back.
PS. If you don't already have one, get a GoPro and mount it inside the car so you can see yourself and the road. This will be the greatest teaching device you'll have (besides your instructor, but he will be gone after the 1st event). The GP doesn't have to be the latest / greatest. I bought a GP Hero2 off ebay for 1/2 price of a new one. It works fine for me.
