Thats because your a solid guy and a solid group of good people. When you get johnny race car with his daddys S4 thinking he can just turn the traction controll off and boot it in a circle, then plows into a light pole, or worse someones car parked there… shit hits the fan fast. I feel the same way, let me bust up my own shit, I dont care if I did it… but if someone else does it, things might change.
The drift, burnout box, what ever would have to be sectioned off well from people and parked cars. It would have to be off the books, members ONLY type thing to play on. Its private property, and off hours its trespassing. ONLY IF THE LAND OWNER WANTS TO PROSECUTE. So if the police are called for some reason its up to the owner to tell the cops to go home or shell out tickets. If its a member doing what they are good at and having fun, safely, no problem. If it some chode starting problems, and say hits a parked car because he was acting like a retard, or pops his motor, or wacks a pole… then turns around and thinks he can go after Darryl, the police come, and he is charged with trespassing… GL with getting insurance money when your found guilty of that, when that offense caused the damage!
Contact a lawyer. Sign a waiver. Dirtbags that sue and fuck up the good times for everyone else are out there everyday, just need to safeguard yourself the best you can… even if it went to court, in my eyes if it wasnt something that I the offender paid for, thus getting the feeling of security and insurance that if something went wrong I would be covered, I wouldn’t really have a leg to stand on, since it would simply be a matter of me the offender breaking laws on the defendants property.
The drag strip would be awesome but since the speeds are higher, its 2 cars side by side, and its a larger track… I see it being harder to get going. NOW, not that the “track” couldn’t be located close to another “stretch of road” which could host said “speed events” (real offense, arrest and tow shit as we all know). They leave the property and you have zero control over what they do, good by liability. We are smart people, it would take a damn camouflaged swat team in the woods to catch us. No houses on said stretch of road, little to no traffic flow, no side roads intersecting… eliminating any EASY way an officer could witness it, unless they are traveling the road at the same time, and like they do to us, that’s nothing a few radios couldn’t assist us in pulling it off un-noticed. If shit ever hit the fan, and the news published something saying “This shop supports street racing” or “This shop causes street racing”, thats nothing a smart person cant turn around and advertise or publish a counter article making them look stupid, and getting advertisement out of it.
Start small and work your way up, just find the location that could host the extra activities later on.
