New to drifting! Got a few questions.

[CVDrift2000]

Hi all, I'm new to drifting and Driftworks and I have a few questions about getting started. I want to start a build eventually but I want to understand how it all works and how you get into drifting. I want to drift legally so 1) is there beginner drift days and how do you get into them 2) is there a ladder to work your way up and if you are good enough get into drifting competitions 3) I am 16, would drifting be the best way to get into racing or Spec Miata is another way I was considering getting into it. I'd rather start in drifting because it seems like it is more fun than SM racing.
Would a Miata be a good starter drift car. I was leaning more towards a 3 series like a 325i e36.

Any input would be greatly appreciated,

Christian
