I was at Golden Gate fields the other day. The lot where they hold auto-x always seems to be open and I see various cars driving around inside. Does management care about that? I'd imagine it's a "private property/tresspassing" issue, but why do they leave the gate open?

Btw, that place seems like the bay area's "learn-to-drive-stick" lot. I saw 3 cars just goin' back and forth, stalling all over the place; including a girl coaching some 20-something dude in a brand new Mustang GT. Guess it's pretty clear who wears the pants in that relationship

 

Heh thanks Joe!

I'm not so much concerned with the ad-hoc driving schools people hold as I am with their reaction if I'm going around the lot screeching the tires on a mock slalom I figure insurance/liability issues would pop up, but they're kinda asking for it keeping a completely empty lot open and unattended

The GGF lot is strewn with pebbles and grit, do you know of any place that's open (and hopefully safe/legal) to practice aggressive/autox techniques outside of an actual event?

Thanks!
