Anyone here in the Northern Jersey area?

I'm thinking of starting a drifting/performance driving club for people in the Northern New Jersey area.

I've done (and still do) autocross pretty much every weekend, but I'm not really satisfied with it. In most autocross events, you get 8 runs (at the most), which is a really short amount of time on the course. You have no time to practice or tune your car.

Also, there are no places to drift in this area at all.

So this is how I see it working:

If there's a decent amount of interest in starting a club, we can find available parking lots to rent out for a day of drifting/performance driving. It shouldn't be too expensive, and we can split the cost.

We can set up a course with traffic cones (pretty much like autocross) and have a day of drifting/driving. Maybe we can have some kind of drifting or racing (time-based) competition where the winner gets some kind of cash price.

Leave some comments if you're interested. Even if you're not, let me know about any large parking lots you've seen in NJ that might be available Saturdays/Sundays.

I'm from Central NJ area, there are a few cool 240 guys here but I rarely see them. I'm kinda a lone wolf
