Just to clarify things there.
In 2009, Just Drift gave out the top 3 of Just Drift Top Drift series Formula D licenses. But since there was a tie for first place Just Drift gave out 4 licenses to Miki and Bomac who tied for first, 2nd was Luke, and their was Matt Fields and 5-12 places got invites to Pro Am Nationals in Irwindale.
In 2010, Just Drift will be giving out top 3 of Just Drift Top Drift series Formula D licenses. So places 4-11 place will get invites to Pro Am Nationals.
Now the licenses that were given and will be given are not probational licenses, but full licenses for the whole FD year.
Hopefully this will clarify things for those who plan on running JD Top Drift.
For those who are located in the So Cal area wanting their FD licenses I highly recommend using Top Drift as a way to obtain your FD licenses for these reasons.
-highly qualified drivers who compete at a higher level
-Formula D drivers are judges of the series such as Taka Aono, Hiro Sumida, Justin Pawlek, Henry Schelly, and other FD drivers as guest judges.
-Long standing relationships with Formula D
-A lot of Formula D drivers are former competitors of Just Drift Top Drift
-Great experience at a higher level to get you ready for the mental and physical preparations needed at Formula D competition levels.
-Great support from Just Drift, staff, and drivers of the event and TP series

Also Just Drift clinics are great for those who are new, intermediate, and advance to come out to for practices. We have a staff of instructors who are ready to help those wanting to get started in drifting or just want to step better their skills in drifting.
