Some times I get hung up by the rules. That's the way it is for Round 5 Southwest Drift Albuquerque with No Coast Drift Party. I'm more worried about my car passing Technical Inspection than I am that I probably don't have the driving skill to make it to the top 16. Maybe I'll qualify 17th and 16th won't be able to race because: He ran out of gas. He had a flat tire. He didn't have enough money for cab fare. His racing suit didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole his car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts!
The rules are not entirely clear, but it looks like they are using the FORMULA DRIFT Championship 2012 PRO Rules and Regulations with some modifications.
VegasProAm Drivers are not bound to the 8.1, 8.11.1, 8.5.3.2, 8.5.3.3 rules

Your Fire extinguisher must be 2.5-5lbs and with in an arms reach, and does not need to meet the Formula Drift 7.7 rule
You can run windows up or down. If you choose to run them down or have a convertible you will be required to have arm restraints.
