heres an idea

[ProjectRedSuns]

what if we pulled some money together and talked with some business that had a nice parking lot and paid them money for use of their parking lot and we can make some type of waver saying that they are not responisble for any our stupid actions and if one of us hits a wall or the building, that person will pay for it. so then we can hold a drift event.

In order for a waiver to be valid, I believe it would have to be ok'd from the higher ups of which ever company you choose their space...ie the Director of Opperations for Publix...which is located in Lakeland AND I think it might have to be notorized...but Im not sure. Its not as easy as asking the store manager if you can use their parking lot and he/she saying yes. Now, if you can find a company that isnt incorporated, then you will have a much better chance....THEN the first process would be as simple as going in and asking the owner, not some pencil pusher, if you could kick out some cheese to use their lot. Though most people think its impossible, its not as hard as people think to look around and simply ask somebody...now as far as the city/county/local law inforcement is concerned....I wouldnt have a clue. But Im sure theres going to be a problem depending on location/time/date as far as noise and traffic is concerned. But it wouldnt hurt to try.

well thats what i meant, not a big corportion, maybe some small business or a franchise or something like that

they have big parking lots u can rent out, its just the matter of insurance which you HAVE to have when holding an auto event, people cant be liable for themselfs, they would just all sue whoever started it.

Why wouldn't a company sign a paper showing they know there are dangerous and illegal activities going on in their parking lot :dunno:

As an added bonus their parking lot would look like shit from all the black marks all over the place.

Sounds like a win/win proposition for the business, especially since the people drifting there have so much extra income to buy things from them.

so much negativity... It couldn't hurt to try.

Maybe get the police to supervise. As bad as that sounds, They wouldn't have to worry about illegal street drifting so they may be up for the idea. And it would bring piece of mind to the owner of the parking lot and would be much more likely to go along with the idea.

I saw a video of what I think was this same idea. It was a huge parking lot and people where drifting it up with a cop was sitting there watching.

I for one would like not having to worry about being busted for drifting everytime I go out.

The problems here is that you NEED insurance. A WAIVER does not CUT IT! Not only do you need insurance (I believe it's event insurance), but it needs to cover the business owner, as well as the PROPERTY OWNER (and YOU if your smart). Most insurance (okay....all insurance companies) will NOT write you a policy unless you are either a Business, Organization, or Sanctioning body. There is no one here that meets those qualifications.

Want to do it? Create your own sanctioning body, locate the property, price the insurance.

It's easier than a drag strip, that's for sure.

BTW, a sanctioning body is hard to start, and takes alot of time and money!

why ask? :)

[drifter_ucchi]

what about a parking lot from a building that is out of business. would then just have to get insurance for each driver? you probably would have to get permission from the city then too huh?
