Ok so Ive always wanted to go crazy on an airfield with my car, and no better place around here to do it except for el toro really.
http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=861111 you see these people rented it out.

I want to really do some at speed stunt in the Evo on a big closed safe course like this, as all the street drifting I do is pretty slow and tame. Who knows how we could do this..? I dont care if its legal or illegal I just want to get out there. :knuppel2:

If you read farther in the thread on the m5board, it seems that they were unable to get the "go-ahead" on the event.

But they were planning on doing high speed runs. Maybe if we restrict it to auto-x/"drifiting" we would be able to do it :-\

Id definitely be down to pay even a couple bills for a few hours on the base. But we really should try and NOT make this TOO organized of an event if it were to happen..It should be more of a go out there and test/have fun with your car type thing..Maybe some autocross or whatnot for those of us who havnt autocrossed yet. I hope we can do it. AMG get back to us ASAP on what the M5 guy says. :-)

This airstrip costs a bit more than 1 grand (I think). From hearsay, autocross events usually run around 3-4k? THis would be fun if we could get enough people to set it up.

dam.. 4 k is pushin it a bit.. hopefully it's under 3k =P

Yea, its several grand and its limited to basically an Auto-x course. Plus you need insurance and paramedics 'n all that crap. Oh and i've brought this subject up a few times and the general response I get is, "Screw Auto-x. Just go spend the $150 and do some road racing!!!11!omgwtfbbq"

Here's what he PM'ed me...

"Basically the Navy killed it and said that their air field is only to be used for exibition and auto-cross. They for sure killed the idea of using the runway for highspeed runs.

The contact for El Toro is AMCI Marketing. The contact has changed multiple times since I tried to get this event going. I haven't even looked for any other airfields since then. Though the fun place would be Honda R&D test track in California City. It's like 7.5 miles oval with banks and interior track."


I don't know what this means...maybe we could rent a smaller part of the runways, as "superboost" suggested...
Any ideas?

I'm fine with that...if that is all we can get.

Perhaps Wild Rivers might also let us have some fun for a small price?

i'll tell you...how about the streets?


j/k...the more I think about it, I really want to do wild rivers, and if that doesn't work, we should explore our other options. just a thought.
