Is there a spot in town like a large vacant lot or just a large piece of asphalt out there that any of you frequent on rainy days such as this that would be a nice place to practice controlling over steer and kicking the rear end out without being chased off of a property or potentially crashing your car?

 

yep...

Here is a good place

Another place, more accessible.

perfect place

Another place that's nearby

 

thanks for the tip! Got a couple hundred bucks I can barrow? Cause that never occurred to me...

 

..cuz we can all afford track time...



I went to the back of walmart/lowes on trop and 95 theres a huge lot, its where I practice stunting my gsxr there aren't any poles or pedestrians, and I've only been asked to leave once after I had been there for about an hour.

 

thanks for the tip!

gsxr... is that the eclipse?

 

 

Here to help people not do retarded things in parking lots that make the rest of us look like the typical honda crowd

Wow... you two can't afford $200 track days? Life must be rough. Maybe you should sell that bike and the S2000 and get a Kia. then maybe you can afford to spend $200 once.

 

since were telling other people what to do now

how bout more minding your own business and less trolling other peoples posts

there's nothing wrong with playing in an empty unused lot, it's not illegal for a reason

 

What driven was getting at, to some degree, is that trying to find a "safe place" that isn't a controlled event is a contradiction in terms. And that if you really are interested in learning better car control you should do it at an organized event; preferably with some sort of timing system.

If $200 is outside of your budget, the SCCA autocrosses are around $50-60. Granted you'll get less seat time and have to work the event too... but thems the dues you've gotta pay.


speedjunkie-ap1, what makes you think reckless driving in a parking lot isn't illegal?

if you had simply said: "not interested in doing track events..." then it would have been dropped... except your sarcastic remark of your inability to afford $200, let alone $50, generated the above response.

bottom line is...
OP wanted to know a place to learn how to control over-steer and kick the rear out. I offered some suggestions, you got defensive and expressed your financial difficulties.

Oh, VegasDrift holds events that cater to this EXACT purpose (although I forgot to mention them). and they are around $100.
