where oh where to drift

[manjambles]

Im building my e30 with the intent of drifting it. and ive done the suspension, intake, exhaust, 325ix diff and dinan chip and my 318is is actually fun now and has a lil pep to it.


the only place i know where to drift legally is down at old dominion raceway those 2 practice days they have every year, and its kinda exspensive.

are there any places that are safe to drift or at least practice? anyone have a lot?

what if we rented a parking lot or airstrip

any input would help!

Tell me when you get a lot. I will throw some money down with you.

[manjambles]

all we have to do is find a place and see how much then rent it out for a day. i bet you could find some landholder intrested.

Just let me know! :)

Just a thought, we could try renting out Old Dominion Speedway...

You need overnight parts from Japan to drift.

I'm down, im sure some friends would be as well, to rent a lot to drift. I asked the manager of a "park and ride" around here, the guy looked at me like I was retarded. I used the term "motorsport event" I guess he couldn't figure out why we wanted his half an acre lot.

So when are we doing this?

[HiTheNameIsBJ]

Really can't plan much without a location, I'll deff keep an eye out for more. Bear mountain has a huge lot but it's not exactly pristine. Theres also a church that hosts car shows around here that we hit up when it snows. I wipped up a quick mspaint diagram, the squigle lines show increased elevation. Granted it's not the best for highspeeds, but has alot of transitions and I think it's really the only one around here that will be willing to rent out. I'll also give a call to the local airports, see if there is any way we can get in there.

im down

[HiTheNameIsBJ]

Think I should call regular airports a call or is this a closed airfield style thing? I'm gunna go on google earth and look for big lots, try and get a hold of the owners.

keep in mind a lot of places might not be willing to insure the event and my cost out the ass a buddy of mine is trying to do this exact same thing and is having insurance issues.

pretty sure a church is not gonna let you have a drift event there unless its abandoned. hahahah
