Open parking lot...anyone!!

Does anyone have access to an open paved parking lot? I was hoping we could all get together one day and have some fun...you know; drifting, auto-X...or just some great video footage of the G's doing things you don't normally do on the streets.

Anyone??

If we are talking legal .... we would have to rent one the places used for autoXing now ......like Pennington Field or Mineral Wells.

If not, we could just do a fast take at one of the bigger lots that are closed on Sunday.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to get around...paying. That's why I was asking if anyone knew of a place...maybe their relative owns it or their boss wouldn't care if we used it on the weekend sometime. I def would want to do this legally. Anyone?

Man I wish we could. Not since 9/11. I tried to get permission to take my car out on the tarmac to get some pictures next to some jets but they said NO WAY! Years ago we got to drive our cars out on the runway. Those days are gone.

Oh well...it's very understandable though. Are there any other old, abandoned airfields or anything around DFW?

Did a quick search on google for abandoned air fields and found this site:

http://www.airfields-freeman.com/TX/...X_Dallas_S.htm

About 2/3 of the way down are pics of the NAS field.

There seems to be one that still has a large area, and it is still maintained for light business use. But I'm still digging on how to contact them.

I just found it on mapquest and it's labeled as Millennium Dallas Airport. It also shows Skyline Drive leading into the airport. It HAS to be a sign!

From what I have been told is that any airfield will be off limits if it is still in use. I'm checking from my end as well.
