Thanks.

According to their web site picture, there are a bunch of island medians and it looks a tad small. Anyone know the approximate dimensions? Could someone close walk it off?

We looked at the lot yrs ago when the place first opened and even had some discussions with management about an event. Usual story: management changed and the new guy wasnt willing to discuss the event.

If have you not noticed we moved our trailers out of the MSI parking lot across from Maremont. Its pretty good size. We have been eyeballing it for some drift pratice.

I'll take a look at it again. My memory was that the pavement was rather rough.

Rough Pavement

Well you folks know the old saying " half a loaf is better than none at all"
or even better, "a crumbly parking lot beats none at all"

I agree but Taylor-White would be bigger. We are about to have to make some tough choices. Bad pavement vs No pavement. Fee for lot usage vs no pavement. Being a autocrosser in East Tenn has been relatively cheap but is about to get more expensive in one way or another.
