**NEW DRIFT SPOT**

[S14slider09]

well as the title says, my buddy and i found a new spot for drifting. it was an old spot that we kind of forgot about as soon as one are friends left for basic. the guy who owns this store is actually really cool. he has a GTO with 650whp. but anyways he gave us permission to use the lot as we wanted as long as we didnt touch his store.we also have road blocks to block the entrance, we are also right by the interstate(i could toss a rock and hit the interstate). well i took pictures to show you all how big the lot is. (crappy pics. camera phone)

the first pic is at the beginning of the grassits an 01 F-250 and a 92 hatch that are the lil dots

the second is the tonka truck and lil hot wheels

the back lot is just as big so you see why im so stoked!!! if you look behind the truck you can see that i still have about three of my truck lengths to go before we get to the building

Just don't get a noise complaint. Once there is a complaint it doesn't matter if the the property is private or not, the fuzz can still kick you out.

Don't hit a light pole.

well all that area around that is nothing but businesses. the closest person sleepin near there is i think about 1 1/2 miles, 2 miles away

[SleepyHB]

Nice.

[S14slider09]

big lot, is it not????

[blacksrjdm]

Biggest problem is, is that even with permission, he is not insured for that. And, legally, without a permit and insurance, its still illegal.

Plus drifting could be considered reckless endangerment.

I WISH WE HAD A LOT THAT BIG!!

[Ghast]

I plan to buy my own and charge people to use it.

It is going to be AWESOME.

All in due time hahaha.

be safe OP!

Be safe and respectful!

To show your gratitude you should ask him if he needs any random labor work done around the store, maybe clean up some graffiti or something i dunno.

Have fun!

Ghasty

That looks like an awesome place to set up a karting track.

[MastaYu]

[Pento240sx]

That is bad a**. I say you do some auto x and drift in that bech.

[dazedandconfuzed]

Nice dude, I wish I had something like that in my neck of the woods lol

[duffman1278]

I don't even think you have to worry about cops, I mean is there even anything AROUND that place withing a 1/4 mile?

[Wc240]

thats nice man. any place around me has huge islands and monstrous speed bumps that kill any chance of havin fun

[mRodiek]

Pick up and move to Illinois please.

[S13_love]

Nice dude.

Have fun and be safe man.

I plan to buy my own and charge people to use it.

I've honestly thought of doing this too.

X2.

My friend had a motocross track at his house all on private property, and there was a fatal accident on the track, and the township ordered him to bull-doze the track due to not having a permit to use the land for that, and not having insurance.

OP, sorry to bust your bubble, I know how excited you must be, but deffinetly take your precautions and do your research. At least write up a waiver and make everyone that enters the premisis sign one, to protect the owner somewhat. Thats what we do at our local track.

[S14slider09]

well my dad went to school with the guy and i grew up with his daughter. but i do understand what you all are sayin. its alabama and we have cops that come out and watch us when we DO find spots that we can drift in. i got in touch with him today and he actually recommended doin a waiver for all the people who use the property. so....hopefully it all goes well

[S14slider09]

i also just literally found out that my other friend with an fc is REALLY good friends with an owner of a raceway........to bad that raceway is out in BFE and its a 45 min drive. but hey.....during the day.....go to the track. when that closes then we have he option of the BIG parking lot

[OMSIN]

thats a hell of a find man. be safe, good luck, and IF you hit one of those lamp post be sure to post pics

[Felipe]

we are also right by the interstate(i could toss a rock and hit the interstate).

im sure a cop will pass by and see/hear you guys....

i give it less than a month.

ps

less people the better

[Thamm]

Man that lot is huge. I need to drive down there someday.

[chalmer240sx]

where is this located?

[S14slider09]

where is this located?

mobile, AL

no emissions, no inspections, AND........the cops will watch you from time to time and cheer you on. i had a cop do that last night. he tried sliding his car and.......it was a major fail

[slow40]

WHAT??? he went dorifto in the police cruiser?! why no pics or video man? That would be EPIC!

[PooPooButter323]

[TraceTheory]

damn. your cops sound chill. hah, what what his reaction to the whole failing on the dorifftooo?

[Diaper]

nice spot, beware of cops! with my dad being retired state police he knows that most states dont have a lot of venues for events. just be careful out there. most of the time they'll ask you to leave or just be cool and talk to him/her about it. we were at a spot by a tractor trailer loading dock and my buddy (Stripes) has a SR with a Bee*R and a guy pulled up, flashed his lights and took off like he saw a murder, next day got a phone call and asked if anyone got killed because neighbors nearby heard screaming and gun shots LMAO

awesome spot

if the cops like it that much, try to get some support from the city...
