^Problem is not everybody who owns an open lot is willing to rent it out for some people to slide some cars. Luckily, there are some people out there but I wouldn't necessarily say that those types of available locations are high in quantity.
As stated above, kicking the clutch isn't really good for the car but neither is drifting in general. If you decide to go out and start driving, be prepared. Things are going to wear out faster, things are going to break. Luckily, it seems the only real weak point on these cars are the axles. That's all I've seen anybody break and those cars are really low. I've done 3 events and still no actual breaks.
If you keep the car reletively simple and address the weak points, the car should stay pretty reliable. This is why I'm staying N/A. Going with FI will just put even more stress on components and will mean you're more likely to break something. Not to mention the extra wear and tear on the motor/transmission.
Here's some brief footage from yesterday out at Mineral Wells:
