Parking Lots
 

Does anyone know of any empty parking lots in MD, that I can practice driving in?

The Burtonsville Shopping Center is nearly empty for the most part (relocated to the other side of street).

Also, looking on Google maps with satellite view, there's one at
6011 University Boulevard #350
Ellicott City, MD 21043.

Go to Google, type in your home address and then switch to satellite view and find empty parking lots. Hopefully that'll help you out.

Good luck.

I normally look for schools on the weekends. They are normally pretty isolated and empty. Not sure if MD has any rules against it but I have done it for years in other states and a couple times in MD.

i mean the first time you get caught should be a warning hopefully

What do you mean by "practice" lol

Not like he's going to do what we do in parking lots... ;)

I typically take a set of cones with me and lay out some random pattern. I only do it to test my grip in different conditions myself though. Can't afford to burn my tires out on non track days!

They don't have AutoX in Maryland?

If I was the property owner and caught anyone doing anything other than parking or driving to a parking spot I would call the cops and press charges.

Get on a closed course and stop giving performance drivers a bad name.

So you hooligans are the ones marking up our autocross lot in Frederick!

Haha we had permission :P Sad to say they don't like us anymore lol

Schools are heavily policed after hours in my county.

This times 5000000

I use to work at SAIC (Columbia), I went there taking the GF practicing 10mph driving on a my car (manual) since she doesnt know how to drive the security promptly came and said get off the property. Even though he was a **** about it I can't really do anything so i am like sorry for the trouble leaving now.

Just picked up a DGM BRZ Limited. If you have a regular meetup in the greater Baltimore area, let me know.

Reminds me of how paintball got. Kids and people shooting each other in public places or shooting innocent people as (jokes) made paintball look so bad and its sadly dead now.. Rockville was the place to get ammo/air and its gone now :(

But thats cool, just go to a closed area or get permission :P i want to learn how to drive like that.
