i too am looking for open parking lot/airstrip type space

 

no one told me about sunday!

 

it was posted in the meets section for over 3 weeks

https://www.i-club.com/forums/meetings-events-donuts-91/sunday-may-3rd-%2A-lunch-island-%2A-202565/

and I sent the invite to everybody on the iclub facebook group

 

No need to practice. Just show up at one of our events.

 

There are 2 where people can run Auto-X
Marina Muni
Alameda

Both of them require that you be there as part of an insured, organized event.

 

are there any pot o golds just lying around the bay area? just thought i'd ask.

I always drool over the dry lake beds when im in suck cal...not to go straight in of course

 

I was down in Marina recently after leaving Laguna Seca and came upon an awesome huge parking lot. I wish we had something like that in the bay area! I'm sure you could do a little practicing there if your car isn't too loud before getting kicked out. Look for 3rd ave & 5th st. Just a WAG, but it appears that they may have serviced military trucks there once.

Also, we do some small scale parking lot testing in Fremont on our race car and never get hassled.
You can see it in our video here: http://teamstimuluspackage.blogspot.com/ You can email me for the address, but these lots are all over the place. You just have to look... I spent a few hours combing google maps when bored one night, then went out to check them out in person. Many of them had locked gates I couldn't see (at first) in the satellite photos.

 

Mare Island during the weekend, anyone?
