    Has anyone tried renting a private lot to play?

    Hey guys, I have been toying around with a few ideas. I thought I would jump on r3v to have some people talk me through this bad idea. What I want is a small concrete lot to rent at night or something. That way I can perform shakedowns and just have fun. I live in South Kentucky. There are no tracks with turns local. At least none with concrete.

    I know a couple of things will have to be present.
    1. No people, spectators, etc.
    2. The gate would have to be locked to prevent public access.

    I am assuming noise is where they will nail me, but if it is on private property way out in the Kentucky woods. What can it hurt?

    Also, I have a family member that is a county attorney, so I could have a contact drawn up that would clear any party of liabilities. Except myself probably.

    -OR-

    Would I be better off just trying to buy some concrete and just creating my own skidpad.



    I have thought about this every day for months and seen it on another forum, less english speaking. I know it's a much better idea to go to a track, but the only close events are 3+hours away with higher than regular prices to slide. Drifting is my passion, I realize I will get a lot of flame for saying that. But, I paid for my 30, built it, I will thrash it. So any help or ideas would be awesome.

    My top goal is safety and legality.

    Why is concrete a thing?

          Wow how old is that Google image that they haven't even broken ground on that track in that image? Just have to watch out for sinkholes right? ;)

            I saw those prices too. I wonder what spectators cost would be?

              "The Sinkhole" is the name of the T18-T21 complex.

              There's no charge to spectate, though the spectating facilities/views are mediocre at best. As of this Spring they were only allowing the public on the balconies overlooking the front straight.

                Herb I completely understand where u are coming from. I just got my e30 running again. A few friends(240sx owners) and I have been talking about looking for a skid pad area to rent for weekend tire slaying. I know an airport near me rents a skid pad area they have for local autox events but it's $$$

                  That's an alright idea. There is an abandoned airstrip in my county. I never understood why we had it in the first place. I live in a town that has no mayor guys. It's crazy.

                  Are airports owned by the county or privately?
