I have a friend of mine that wants to build a place where you can autocross and road race and drift relatively close to the tampa/lakeland area.
For about $30 you could go out and run the course timed and sling the thing around with out having any worries of tickets. We are hoping to be able to achieve about a possible 120mph on the track and have many different sections to open and close to control speed.
Primus is a pretty cool track but was hoping for something with a bit more space so as not to run into the shrubberies. this is in some very early stages but we would like to make the place wide enough to drift the corners at high speeds without any worries of trees or hitting anyone. We also want to make the place versatile enough to host Auto X and a good size road course.

Please give me you input. I will post this in the drifitng section as well.
Thank you

You do realize the kind of funding you need?

Michelin's Black lake, which is 1400 x 400 was over 7 million dollars.


Good luck.

 

Just like in drifting forum, if you have the money, build it. People will come regardless. I'll believe it when I see it.

 

 

Insurence costs for cars going 120+ on corners??? best of luck

 

that would be sweet. as said above ill have to see it to believe it

 

I wish you the best of luck. IM me if you want someone to test drive it.

 

...so many smartass replies ready, yet so little time...

 

If you do that then you will be loved by all. I think the most economical would be building something like the Japanese do it, the small tracks that litter Japan. I will try to get some pictures of what im talking about.

120 mph is fast, that is going to need to be a long straight. Even a top speed of 100 would be so fun.

When this happens I will try down to Tampa from Jax to try it. You could go to at least 50 or 100 bucks if its all day.

 

my guess is he's not trying to rival the black lake



hope you got lots of money tho & several good contacts as it'll be hard work getting this going w/out 'em
