The event will be held in conjunction with the Laughlin Motorsports Festival and International Rally. The nations top 48 amateur drifters from 4 regions will compete for the title of national champion. In addition, the top 3 podium finishers will be awarded a professional competition license from Formula Drift.
In addition to the Pro-Am finals, there will be a Formula Drift licensing event where the drivers from the 2006 season with zero points or other drivers who have competed in a minimum of 4 previous Formula Drift events will need to renew their license to compete in the 2007 season. These drivers will go up against the top 16 Pro-Am drivers who will be looking for the opportunity to earn their professional license for the first time.

The US Drift Association is a collaboration between the nation’s drift event organizers to help bring exposure to the world of regional and amateur events. Many of today’s professional drifters got their start by attending events that were held by these organizers and is the best outlet for tomorrow’s aspiring drifters looking to go pro.

i read this off the Pro-Am site:
“To help offset the high costs of travel and assist drivers competing in this event, the Pro-Am will award amateur drivers $0.15/mile round trip.”
