You also open a significant debate with the high HP crowd that often have significant slip angles.
Before a Safety steward can interject, something must be unsafe. Skilled or unskilled drivers drifting or not have hit workers. We have participants who have regularly failed to brake for corners and run over many cones, timing lights, slid onto taxiways, headed for fences, etc.
IMHO drifting is not inherently any more unsafe especially at speeds like Saturday's course.
I think this is first an insurance question, second a realistic safety question and third a site damage question. Personal opinions on drifting don't count.

I have no issues with drifting. If I had an appropriate car I'd be trying it myself. But the SCCA has made it clear that they want none of it at Solo events. So between National not wanting it and the obvious potential for risk to person and property, it should not be allowed at our events.
