Question Places around Atlanta to learn drifting?

Does anybody know of places to try drifting, or some local relaxed events? I've just a got a set of stock Rays dedicated for this and would really like to try it out. I've done around 15 HPDEs and autoxs each in the past few years, but have never tried drifting, aside from fooling in the parking lots back in a day.

My car is somewhat set up for the road course with -2.5 camber all around, adj. coilovers, sway bars, braces. Do you think it's OK to try it out without a LSD? I don't really want to change anything, before I get the feel of it. Thanks

Please take this to the PMs. I don't want to see any more good tracks shut down because too much attention is drawn to them.

Tried to say in the post above - I've done #3, found some folks and the pics are from the practice yesterday - I'm in the orange z. It was cut short by the cops though :/ There will legal event in Lanier Speedway this Sat nigh, I believe.

hapeville was the spot to go to two years ago. If i were you i'd stay away. They are getting more and more strict now that southeat drift doesnt do events. More and more people are going there and getting kicked out now. its a matter of time before they start arresting people and impounding cars
