If you're on the Goldy check out here for regular drift meets and so on http://www.driftcity.org/forum/index.php they can also help to point you in the right direction as to which car to go,

I would say depending on your budget, go for a good high end Race chassis. TC5, T2 Xray,E4, RDX, MI3 etc they make great drifters and also give you a great base to start racing too better build quality and more adjustable, Check the for sale section for used chassis as more than often you can find a great bargain, I'd also look for a used Novak GTB as they are a good sensored Brushless speedy with the option of reverse as well.
