What Glyphstone said. Admittedly it is conjecture on my end, but I have not seen materials that distinctly mentions that the Drift cannot be executed away from the Shatterdome.<br/><br/>Also, Newt rigged up drifting equipment without a crew to supervise his progress. The way I see it, it's only a problem if things go wrong. Can things go wrong with Gravedigger's pilots? :)
