So where does everyone go to drift?

[Ender_Zero]

just curious where you guys have found is good for drifting without attracting to much attention, or without having to spend a wad of cash to get some track time.

lucky for me, theres a nice lakeside road not far from where i live...that and texas motor speedway's parking lot is gigantic, as well as deserted at night time

anyone local in the DFW area?

[santi]

everywhere! except for a legal event.. not that i wouldnt go if i could.. but alabama has nothin to offer right now

Can you go out to TMS parking lot at night legally? If so when I (if) I pick up an s13 soon, I'd like to go out with you. TMS is in my back yard, i'm less than 5 minutes away...

[skillzilla]

I usually spend the day scoping new industrial complexes and back roads in the country, then night time ripping them up. I have a few regular spots, but mostly hit and run type places, never staying more than 20 minutes or so. Ill scope it out the first night, make sure its mellow, then hit it the second night.

[Stuntman240]

i scope and hit the same nigt, if there isnt a cop one night, whose to say he wont b arround the next.

and to answer the question in the title: If i told u i'd have to kill u

[ilovedrifting]

I usually go to the local elementary school to drifts around the bus loop. there is so much room it kicks ***

[marshun]

industrial parks. our touge has too many cops. and theres only two ways in n out.

sorry buddy, it isnt legal,(at least i never inquried about it) but nobody bugs me out there. since i started going about a year ago with my buddy, i havent seen one person out there other than who came with me. granted, i dont go often since its about 15-20 minutes away, and i like my lake course alot.

[FiKtIOn]

Thought i'd bug you with that question, haha..

I went out there one night with a friend and within 5 minutes this security guard told us to leave or he'd call the cops...My friend was taking pictures, so I haven't been back in a long time.

[Ender_Zero]

heh, like i said it may have been a night before an event or something.

i havent even seen a security guard out there. what do they drive?

[xyster]

i<3drifting: you should stay out of school parking lots...very bad places to drift. Cops patrol past schools fairly regularly, looking for vandals, and they will catch you. A friend of mine was caught in an elementary school parking lot, and they arrested him on trespassing and wreckless driving charges.

oh, and about your sig....raise the stock higher in your shoulder, tuck your right elbow in tight, and take that sling off.

Down her in FLorida there has been a bunch of subdivisions being built. Cleared land, 2 lane wide-road, noone to call cops, and if you run off you run into sand, and being it's a subdivision a bunch of turns. Had one place that i did this for about 4months. Rain kept delaying their progress and i think the company had some financial trouble.

[Former_240_s14]

I go to schools, industrial parks, and abandone neighborhoods. the airport bought out a couple subdivisions and there are nothing but roads back there, its bad ***.

[Dookie]

My friends and I goto a few places, a local spot behind a Toys R' Us and a Circuit City; and a 4 way crossroad intersection 10 miles or so out of town. Luckily the cops don't pass by the Toys R' Us that often, we normally just do a 10 min session and then bolt out. The other spot we tear up for hours on the weekends, nobody is out there, kinda dangerous with the 4 foot deep ditches that surround it, but oh well.

[ViolatoR]

im new to texas (DFW area: Trophy Club) and want to start drifting soon. the only practice i had was driving my automatic silvia s-13 sr20de in japan at a shipping dock with a wide open space and a smooth surface. the only mod i had was front struts/springs i bought for $30, but i moved soon after

i drive a '93 s-13 automatic (i know auto isnt the best setup for drift, but i think i can make it work) with struts/springs, strut bars, intake and exhaust.. so far.

[crzycav86]

I drift in a high school parking lot, only when wet of course. It's quieter in the rain, and much more forgiving on the car.

[ViolatoR]

i drove by the texas motor speedway tonight at 10:30 and it did look like a great place to drift, huge flat lots, plus it rained. but the parking lot had like 4 or 5 nice cars parked there... anyways i didnt see any one there at all, totally deserted, which is hard to believe. there has to be cops or parking police somewhere nearby!?

i might have to stop by tomarrow if it rains again (hey im a noob, and i want good low speed practice plus its only 5 mins away!), prolly not until 11pm just to be safe. i have a feeling a car spinning around an empty lot would be pretty noticeable from the nearby 114... i guess ill have to practice with my lights off. eek.

[HashiriyaS14]

I go to some local parking lots for practice. Home depot in particular is an enormous lot with both a big open space and lots of driveways/layout so as to almost function as a small circuit track. I was there last night, actually.

As for touge, the road I go to is an extremely well kept secret. I was given a vague idea of where it was and it still took me 2 days of driving the area to find it. I have never seen a cop on it, and I doubt I ever will.

[DarkStar]

I've got a local industrial park to myself every night after around 8. And if the police do come around, they just tell us not to run into anything and to be safe and have fun. Only dealt with 1 annoying cop in the past year. And to think of it, haven't really dealt with many at all. They drive by and wave sometimes, its quite the interesting. Well the fact that im in a HUGE parking lot, and that my father is in charge of all personnel for baltimore county police...they don't give me any crap if they value their jobs.

[driftczar]

WELL you are not going to beieleve this. I always go to this one parking lot with a couple of my friends do drift. It is this huge parking lot and there are never any cars there exept for friday and saturday. So we go there and we start to drift. I drove and drifted a little but i dont got my license yet. I only drive my friends sylvias. SO THIS COP SHOWS UP OUT OF NO WHERE AND TAKES MY VIDEO AWAY ( WHICH BY THE WAY WAS AN AWESOME VIDEO OF DRIFT FOOTAGE) AND THEN WROTE US ALL CITATIONS. now im pissed (it just happpened like 2 days ago) ohh well i guess i need to find a new spot. lolHope u never get caught.. take care and watch out for pigs once i get my tape back at court i will post videos and pics of that night

[nissandrift]

I go anywhere there arent curbs, mainly behing local strip mall. And I go to a bunch of lookout.com events.

where do you go to drift? i am just outside n.e.

[driftczar]

well there is this one AMMISH market and it is only open on friday nights and saturday nights.. We went there a lot and never got any complaints till just a lil while ago.. well i usually go to the street races in philadelphia and drift in parking lots neer the races so that when the cops come we just run like we would if we were watching or racing. Well i have this other place in mind.. if i were to go to this industrial park i think that no one would bother me.. i have seen some other guys doing lots of donuts before (during the day) so i guess it will be okay to drift there too. When i get my video back at court of teh night at the ammish place i will post pics on the net and let u know

[trackslut240]

Ender_zero, hi, i am also in DFW area and was trying to find a place to go drifting, i heard about a meet being held somewhere in plano, at ....lemme find that place again will post again... i'm in richardson... dont want to attract the law but i guess that will be inevitable...since my ****ty firestones will squeal while i am parked ...

[Altiman94]

driftczar, you wont be driving fora while if you got ticketed before you were even legal to drive.

We drift in sub divisions being built. No big curbs to rip suspension off and new pavement. I also like to drift on the indiana/michigan state line. Cops don't mess with me because they are no where to be found. Also many banked turns and many 90s. All cornfields.

[Altiman94]

sounds like you got it all made nick. Our roads are striaght as an arrow here in iowa. Where the curvies exist so do the curbies,

[240marcuSX]

we've got this killer industrial park thats off the beaten path, and ive known people to go and drift there for several hours, and set up cones and everything and no cop ever shows. If anyone in central va wants to go drift sometime hit up my email or aim.

[Axoure Dragonkin]

I'm in Plano, right off of 75. When I get off work (about midnight), I usally go tear up the mall parking lot for about ten minutes then head home. Haven't been bothered by security yet.

There is another parking lot of an shut down movie theater that I go to during the day (because it backs up to a neighborhood). Truckers sometimes use it to sleep. Problem is there curbs with trees every ten feet or so except down the isles, so i am limited on speed.

When there is rain and I leave work at midnight, that is the best time of all.

[drifting240]

hey guys i am also in dallas area and not really a drifter but am trying to get into it with suspension upgrades and things like that...i have an sr with some mods and was just checking this post out and seeing where everybody was from and i saw guys from dallas and plano...so maybe we can meet up somewhere or something some time...holla
