my .02 as a learning drifter. Go out a few times by yourself. Do some doughnuts in a random parking lot alone and get a feel for you car. Every car has a "sweet spot" between controlable and spinning out. After that you can spend some time on some small turns and chicanes (sp). After you figgure out what the car breaks loose at and what you can control it under, hit up a DDay or tertech event, and get the feel for a track, watch the guys that are doing well and try to mimic it. Take notes while your learning, entry speed, angle, gear you were in, estimated distance of travel, esitmated throttle position, estimated wheel angle, etc. I know my coupe drives completely different that most of my buddys hatches even though we have the same suspension setup. And last but not least take criticisim well from everyone around you. Sure your gonna get a lot of "you should be doing this instead crap" but listening to the guys that have been doing this awhile might be really good for you. Ask around and I'm sure you'll find someone that is using a technique close to yours. Toss that I feel like a NOOB and dont want ask questions out and hook up with some cool people and you'll make out just fine.
