well children, you have to use a "decoy"....have one of your friends go rob a bank, or hijack a plane and you will be able to drift anywhere!

Those tracks don't exist locally.
It's been asked over and over, the answer is :nono:
Lakeland speedway used to hold drift events on their oval track every friday evening, but it wasnt a big success, and Mr.Ranlet tried his best to get other track owners to hold an event, but they all shake their heads :nono:

I saw clips of this, probably a thread not so long ago about this track.
What's the story behind this track? Is it still owned by a private owner or sold to the government?
Ocala GP should purchase this track if they can...only if this track is profitable.

track is in naples about 1 1/2 hours south of tampa. theres been so many responses to this on this forum alone, along with like 30 people from rx7club and 30 more on sfl drifters that want to go. we're going to start giving out schedules. because the track will get out of control if there are too many people there then everyone will bitch about track time ect. so i'll keep you all posted. plus to let everyone know, me and my friends josh and randy will be holding an east vs west coast event within a few months, were 10 drivers from each side will be competing to see which side of florida has the most skill.
i'm going to have judges out there to judge, speed, angle and style just like a normal event except its public.
i dont know about the pricing yet, i was thinking drivers 10$ and spectators 5$ the only reason i'm asking for money is because i plan on paying the top 3 drivers the money accordingly. i dont know i dont have all the kinks worked out of the plan yet. but i'll keep everyone posted. over the next few weeks the few people i'm going to invite from around florida will be watched and for the most skilled drivers i see i'll invite them to the event. so i'm gonna have a long few months ahead of me. but i hope for anyone that comes out has alot of fun. i'm looking forward to seeing some of you
btw my aim name is sk8punkrawker18 i'm tired of pms just im me if you want

holy shit....trajic chiill.......this track was brought up before by me. i have been using track for almost a year it was a whole track but they tore up alot of it. still very fun. very tight very technical. but still illegal. i kinda feel disrespected but inviting people to use it to have them post it up without asking me. the track has been getting a few cops out there lately and whould hate to have you guys come down from tampa to be run off by police. i do have other spots to slide near there to wait for the heat to die.

inviting a bunch of jerkoffs with falling apart S13's to an abandoned track is a wicked bad idea. it'll be fun when peoples cars break down, leak oil on the track etc, have a bunch of retards out there when you guys want to run it yourselves. i can't see this turning out good. dumbass ricers always ruin good things like this.

its all your guys' decision, like is said i'm not gonna have all these people come down at once, i'm gonna get to know some of you, and maybe have one or two of you come down a week, yea your car could break down, yea as of now it is illegal. but all the shit you dont do on the track is illegal so its not like it'd be a first for any of us, we've never had trouble with the cops worst thing that happened so far is they asked us to leave. it all varies i guess. it is a risk i'm not going to lie and say it isn't. i'm taking into consideration about getting the onwers consent. its a long shot but maybe he might be into it you never know. i wouldn't just invite random people and risk the spot being ruined though. thats happened with all the spots we've had in our town, now i gotta go a few towns over just to get a few hours in before i had a few spots around my neighborhood, but word of mouth ruined it all.

If this is the place I am thinking of, I contacted the owner some time ago, and he wanted to turn it into apartments or something and had little interest in holding drift events (couldnt for legal reasons as well).
If you guys want to do that, that's up to you. I'd love to drift there, but I can't condone anything.
In the meantime, I'm working on setting a regular venue (every other week or so) in Tampa.

yeah you also PMed me about it awhile ago. Trajic goes to far to say we are going to have events there. its more like a bunch of people having fun and drifting. i try to run it as safe as i can even though its not my property and its trepassing. the whole idea of a comp came from the fact that we had a Miata and an S2000 run some tandem runs. but for a real event or a real competition there just isnt enough of the track left to even consider it. I don't think ive every had a ricer show up. there was a V6 camaro that was embarrassing but he came with a girl driving an SR powered S14

i stopped reading this thread a while ago you asshole but if you noticed i was going to use the money to pay the top drivers as a prize you fuck, its not like i'd keep it to myself. anyways i've talked to the owner and its owned by toll brothers inc, they're actually in tampa even though the property is in naples. i just asked some questions about the property, supposedly they're going to be building on it sometime soon within the next year so it wont be around for much longer, but i decided fuck it, too many people being dicks about this whole thing so no point inviting people i'm gonna just keep it simple and stay with my friends,
but as for you man, dont judge me when you dont know me, i woulndt keep the money, i was going to pay the drivers, since i wouldn't have any other way to pay the top drivers i would use that. is that such a dick thing to do? fuck off.
