Does anyone else have a spot where they go to practice responsibly. I have a .8 mile 7 corner loop (6 corners have good to great flow) with over 60ft of elevation change. Beautifully paved then abandoned in 2007 courtesy of the housing bubble burst. I always make sure to bring a friend and only one car is "hot" at a time and parties are always left with our itineries as far as how long we plan on being there.
I understand not wanting to share details of a location if some would rather share just descriptions, photos or videos from their secret spot. And I understand the risk of sharing mine, but have chosen to do so anyways, as drifting isn't popular on this board
.
so my favorite is:

It was fun until someone paved it and added security.
For a while, we had a perfect, square-cornered loop of about 1/4 to 1/3 mile behind our house. I could never get myself to hoon because it was surrounded by mature neighborhoods and popular with joggers, walkers and kids on bikes. Man, it was tempting, though.

LOL, I see what you did there.

they started building again so those developments arent empty anymore 
York County PA. I was there about 5 weeks ago and it was still vacant and unused. That being said the spring haw is upon us and digging may have started, but having been vacant for nearly a decade I doubt that heavy machinery will have made it's way in as of yet as no trailers were on site.
There was one that got built out just prior to the downturn that I would go out on. It recently got built out though with the hot Austin housing market. They are building on everything in sight.
We used to have one of those around here, one way in/out, so you could drive it and make sure it was empty. I need to find another. Our industrial park is empty after hours and has nice pavement, but it's just 90 degree squares.
This was our chosen spot from ages 16-20, well, the funnest turn of our chosen spot. It was about a 2.5 mile sprint on an all but deserted BLM road leading up to a disused quarry. Never driven at anything over 8/10, but enough twisties and elevation change to make it a hoot even at low speeds. They're logging out there now (and I'm 4 hours away from it) so there's no more hooning to be had.
As long as you dont mind all the long right sweepers...
Cool group of car nuts used to meet under the overpass on Thursday nights IIRC.
When i was a kid there was a closed down rest area that we set up a e36m3ton of cones in and we used to autox to our hearts content.
Out in the High Desert we have a hundred square miles of this.
Graded dirt/gravel neighborhoods that were never built and never paved. Hoon City. Just hope you don't mind a bit of dirt and a lot of rock-chips in your rear fenders.
You can connect the roads and turns together into pretty much any course configuration you can imagine.

Not much around where i live unless you like long straight roads. Usually go around the local lake roads but now that its getting nice cant do that anymore.

This is my practice spot. By day it is a veritable "Lance Armstrong wanna-be'" festival. Full of granola munchers, cone lickers, tree huggers, and other like minded weirdos.
By night it is a vacant road with more turns and hairpins and elevation changes than the 'Ring itself. At the top (in the middle) is the dee wright observatory. Surrounding it (and the road leading up there) is a massive black lava field and a cliff going up the right side of the road. Because of the cliff and lava field there is no vegetation, with no food, there are no deer. With no deer, there are no Cougars or bears. It is a dark, silent paradise with roads as smooth as my wife's.... Well you get the point.
When I was young and stupid every road I was on was my own test track. Thankfully no one was hurt when I found out where the limit was and I lived to grow up. Be safe out there.

South Robert trail in Inver Grove Heights MN. Killer elevation changes, lots of on camber decreasing radiuses, tons of fun to stomp. Problem is, they built a rich guy car garage thing right off it now, so I imagine the hooning will be gone as soon as some toolbox wads a ferrari on it.... Like county road O, and the opus loop, and welch......

She shaves her back regularly then?
Sorry- I had to.
My cousin grew up in New Zealand. He said that once you were a couple miles out of town. pretty well every road became a track. He moved to California for 8 years and then returned to NZ. Hmmm. I wonder why?
In reply to mndsm:
Lolz. All I can say is it ain't the ONLY thing she shaves...
Here's a pic... 
Oh... Did you really think I'd post that?
