So. It's 4 a.m., you've got an anvil for a foot, and tires that beg for a thrashing. You're not idiotic enough to feed this demon on public roads and private parking lots aren't a big enough canvas for your artistry. Where do you go?

My unlikely dream was a deserted airfield near LA. I watched people on the salt flats (Top Gear) recently and it got me thinking... what place scratches your itch?

 

wtfbbq?

 

what car do you own?

 

An open four lane highway.

That and Test Drive Unlimited.

 

I'd take it to a track...some twisties please (i.e. Laguna Seca FTW)...


And to the OP: What car do you have?

 

Hoonage:

I had to look it up.

 

Airfield runways... if you can get in somehow. Not at a big international airport or something, one of those smaller airfields where they have private flying lessons.

My friend put 110 octane in his 300 rwhp MR2 Turbo (that's tuned on 91) and he hauled ass! Big wide open spaces, just stay away from the hangars or whatever area its called where the planes are parked.

Just don't be like that kid in the new Mustang that hit a Cessna and totaled it.

 

Have you seen this...

I want to drive there!!!!

 

Laguna's too far away for a 4am drive, but I'm starting to think proper race tracks might be my only bet.

RS4.

 

 

Streets of Willow....go there.

 

Europe...... No substitute

 

Oh, I will, but I started this thread to see where the 4a.m. playgrounds are at. Not scheduled track days, not 2 hours away... spontaneous madness in LA.

 

LA is pretty big, do you mean like downtown?.

I can't really think of anywhere like an empty air field. Maybe some big parking lots like at the rose bowl, but i doubt you'd get away w/ very much there.

Angeles Crest can be fun, but it is a public road. I know two people that almost killed themselves there too.

 

come to texas guys, tons of closed runways and shit on the outskirts out here. theres a closed airforce base about 30 min from the house, tons of runways. open to the public.

 

Word to the first fully on-topic reply. No way downtown will have enough space, I was thinking anywhere in the "area," like maybe in one of the valleys. The Van Nuys airport area looks like the right stuff, but getting in is the question.

Been on Angeles... ridiculous fun. I know a guy who lost control and drove off a mini-cliff there.

 

Shit. You got a specific location/map link? Probably worth a drive out if it's playground enough.

 

wtf is hoonage??

 

ill get the long/lat for you if ya want, theres several out in witchita falls tx, san angelo tex, and (closed airforce base) kelly tx, close to san antonio. I've been stationed near all those and the kelly one is by far the best, a couple of guys i met w/ bikes one day at a McDs told me about it. you have to drive through a hacked open fence, but once you get on the runway (especially on a full moon night) its heaven. no cops, no one around for miles. just you and the machine.

let me know if you have a gps, i'll get all the long/lats for ya. got em saved in my unit

 

I go to bed.

Seriously though, at this time of year, you could find an empty lot and just drift around. Would be especially fun in an RS4.

Too bad you're in L.A.

 

Also, http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=hoonage

 

Yeah, need to hunt for an unobstructed lot big enough to be fun. Still, the allure of an empty airfield is... something else.

 

Nice ride...what year?

 

08. Black. I'll put up some shots after its first proper photoshoot.

 

Love it. Yes, please...post pics.
