This was just posted by Glen Woods at NOPI Drift around 24 hours ago. He links to a new page on the NOPI website talking about licensing. You can now buy a NOPI Drift license and avoid qualifying events.

Provide NOPI DRIFT with photos of Driver and Car.
Provide NOPI DRIFT with a Drivers Resume.
Provide NOPI DRIFT with video of Driver and car Drifting.
Provide NOPI DRIFT with Organization or Pro Driver’s recommendations.

Cost is $750.00 for 2 race Provisional

With the Provisional, driver must qualify in top 16 to be eligible to run Tandem rounds and compete on Sunday to be granted NOPI DRIFT Professional License.

Allow Two Business weeks for processing.

lol thats gay you shouldn't be able to buy your way into it you should have to earn it.
 
agree....but i guess that why you still have to send vids in.....probably wont let just anyone attain one if the cant atleast show something
 
they are doing this partially because not every region has people organizing a qualifier. remember last year? before the season i had to goto frikken virginia and texas. its not the best solution, it would be nice to have more quals around the country but oh well.

a series would be sweet, but without tandem its not that great... and without more than 12 people in caged cars its not the great to have tandem series.\

get cages people. atleast main hoops and door bars.

This is actually kinda good news since I cannot make the Moroso Qualy. It gives people the chance to get the license without traveling across the country. It's about the same as me traveling to another state so I may end up doing this.

How do you figure. It was explained in an earlier post that they are just trying to give people in states without qualifiers a chance to compete. If you don't make top 16 in 2 events you end up right where you started only alot broker. I don't think it will effect the level of drifting past top 16 so no one really has anything to complain about. If you suck it will show in top 32 qualifying real quick. And by who they just announced as this years judges, If you ain't balls to the wall, scraping paint, and shooting sparks from your undercarriage you ain't gonna get no points.

But it will also help to increase the sports participating audience which is never a bad thing.
 
no, they are trying to make bank. I understand people that cant make it to events, but the majority of these "bought" passes will be rich fucks that dont belong in the seat of a car. Sure their mommy signed the check that turned their car into a "pro drift racer" but they cant buy talent. NOPI knows this and is running with the idea that the purchase is a 80% chance that they wont make it past qualifying. WOOHOO they just made money off of a 16 second run or the car that just got k-railed to death.
