Setting up a car for Pro requires a lot more money than you think. > > Most people drifting now have the basics: suspension, sr20/kat, lsd. On top of that, you will need to add: $1500 - $2000 for a cage, $1000+ for fire suit, $200+ for gloves, $200+ for shoes, $500+ for helmet. Then you have to factor in the cost of the events, the tires that you will go though, gas money… > > If you have all that already, you can always goto DMCC. They’ve all been drifting for 2 years and they all have FULLY prepped cars with some decent skill and tandem experience. I know some of us have the skill to compete with them but overall, we (as in Ontario) have a long way to go. An Amateur series (in our opinion) is the best thing to do right now. This will help prepare the drivers for a pro series not only with the skill required to drive the car but also with a general layout of how a pro competition series will run throughout the day and the season. > > Still think Ontario is ready for a Pro series?
