I'm in the same boat...there was a large perking lot across town in an industrial plant that I used to use, but the place recently closed down and has been shut up. We do have a road racing circuit in town [Portland International Raceway] that has a 100 ft skid pad in one of the parking lots. A driving school operating at the track uses it..I guess I'm going to have to see how much they will charge me for few time around next time I change tire size or springs and anti-roll bars....Cripe, you REALLY need a nice big circle to set up the basic handling....Same is true for a little fun once in a while.

We used to do an annual burnout in our hotel parking lot at Carlisle. Don't do it anymore. Just takes too much tread off (I realize you're buying new tires anyway) and really doesn't do any good to the drivetrain, ie: clutch, tranny and rear end. I get alot more satisfaction out of accelerating through the gears once the car is under way. I'm either getting older or smarter

Go to your local dragstrip. that way you can do all the burnout you want and get to take it down the track.
And there is no chance of getting caught by the cops.
