Lightbulb Private Car Parks

Hi guys, I have always wanted to find a place to have a bit of fun, drifting / burnouts and donuts. [ Actually I need to learn still ]

Does anyone know any good private car parks or big open places in Sydney / NSW? It would be an upgrade to coffee meets

No flaming please, coz we were once all young! And some of us will never grow up, lol

Figured it would be good fun to learn how to handle our cars better in a very casual environment. If you have know anyone, please PM me, maybe we can have a little exclusive club

Skid pan sounds great! I was just looking that up 10mins ago. Not too sure how it works, or if I should join the EC Skid Pan Training event.

Have you been?

Skid pan. Don't give drivers a bad name by hooning around in a car park.

Haha, I would never do it in an open car park, that was why I was looking for a private one, possibly one for a warehouse, on a weekend. Anyway... it's all good.

Warehouses can work but they have poles so I wouldn't suggest learning in one. Skid pan is the safest place to learn and easiest on the car too as it's wet.

We are organising a skid pan event in a couple of months, but if you just gotta get it out of your system, go do a public one!

OP, join up with Skylines Australia. They organise texikhana's every quarter or so using different venues (speed courses, auto cross, drift etc). The next event is at Sutton Road (not a drift course, unfortunately for you) - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/for...l-sutton-road/

ps: hands up if you wanna go to this and crash at Tays

OP dont listen to these clowns advising to go to a skid pan. Save your money as there are heaps of great places to practice drifting, burnouts and donuts.

My personal fav location is any primary school carpark or oval between the hours of 9am-3pm. If you are lucky and get there around lunch time, you can save your self the effort of having to bring your own cones/ witches hats......

Suj, I know you meant plural. I just have no idea what you're referring to.
