Is anyone aware of any legal track or lot areas in the East Bay that you will not get fined for practicing at?

THAT ARE LEGAL!!!!!

sr240mike · 01-02-2005, 06:42 PM

hahaha, No. Fines? How about getting your car impounded?

prophet_19 · 01-02-2005, 06:57 PM

Well if its a place for doing that stuff why should you get your car impounded?

thx247 · 01-03-2005, 06:36 PM

Any ones parents own a mall or buisness with a large parking lot?

SpeedMonkeyInc · 01-04-2005, 12:49 AM

Are you kidding?

There are some hit and run places. Me and my brothers went down to the shipping yards and hit a few corners then bounced. Tried the same thing the next night and where escorted out by a police cruiser before we had even made it all the way in. Same for some industrial parks, slid for a bit then got out. In hind sight, pretty stupid.

If you are bent on it get a few friends and some walkie-talkies and go find an industrial park.

NO or everyone would be there already

d4vech3n · 01-04-2005, 01:12 PM

The best I found is a deadend street that has enough space to do donuts and enough space for a beginner to practice doing 180s. Sucks but thats the only place I know of where you can stay for hours and nobody would come since its in an industrial section. I only go late at night or Sundays but its lost its fun. Otherwise, the best lots I know of are the hit-and-run type.

"deadend street" i wouldnt mess with it.

plus it's a long drive from East Bay to NJ

meatish · 01-04-2005, 04:22 PM

For free? NO.
Practice what, BTW? Riding your skateboard?

d4vech3n · 01-04-2005, 07:57 PM

Its not that small of a street. I took this picture there:

Enough room for small things and its surrounded by warehouses that are closed on nights and Sundays.

Yeah its a long ride from East Bay. My point was to look for something similair in a warehouse distrct.

thx247 · 01-05-2005, 12:00 AM

My 100 MPH ticket coming home from the track is about 4-5 tracks days for me.

:sad:

thx247 · 01-05-2005, 09:59 PM

yeh 100mph is a bitch, I think mine was 400 bucks, but I was only going 102mph. JOOR ass probably got the 700 ticket hehehe

Tygma · 01-23-2005, 01:33 PM

i had my car impounded for 5 days at Sunnyvale Tow.. came out to 560 bucks, plus i have a ticket for 330 bucks and a 30 day restriction on my liscense. Parking lots are a no-no... Keep it in the hills

citizen · 01-23-2005, 02:21 PM

meh, just go to the tounge to practice!!!!1

*Jonnie Fraz* · 01-29-2005, 03:39 PM

I do not know about the Bay, but here in Sac there are these cats called the Sac Nuts who get permission to do tricks in parking lots @ industrial parks.
What about the Naval base @ Alameda? I was thinking about the closed down Air Force base here. I think that a runway would be big enough. Man some of the hangers are big enough to set up an indoor track. Ooooh polished floor, mega slides.

Been watching the Discovery Channel lately?. The difference is they are professionals. They get paid to do those stunts.

*Jonnie Fraz* · 01-29-2005, 06:13 PM

Yes I have...and I have seen them here in person. Pros or not they stepped up and asked somone about using their lot. They also use the lots for practice not just for shows.
Trust me I know that most prop managers are going to say " No way Jose", but it only takes one to say "Yes"

Ritz S14 · 01-29-2005, 10:07 PM

Yup. I almost got arrested there with a couple of buddies from a few years ago.

*Jonnie Fraz* · 01-30-2005, 02:46 AM

Bummer...My Brother-In-Law lives in Alameda, he was telling me about guys testing cars there. I guess that they work there, some electric car or something. Sorry is was not more help.

phrozen · 01-30-2005, 02:55 AM

tokes¹ · 02-11-2005, 02:54 PM

Andrew Bohan · 02-11-2005, 06:31 PM

eurosil80 · 02-13-2005, 10:18 PM
