If there's no sanctioned events in your area, why don't you step up and organize something? From what I've seen, for a lot of drift events you just need a big parking lot, Those can be rented, which is what folks like club 4AG do. Hell, you may even be able to make a little cheedar at too.

EDIT: Sponsers frown upon illegal activities, so having this great resource may not be possible at all if posting of illegal activities were permitted.

You do touch a big issue though. I just rented NFSU 2 and lots of big names and corporations exist in it. They can disclaim all they want (which you can press "X" and skip over anyways) about not driving on the street they way you do in the game, but fiction is based in fact (even if a little) and tying yourself to this game is like giving tacit approval to illegal street racing. Of course ultimately "money talks, etc." so those companies are going to look the other way I guess.
