Cool Personal Road Courses

I took myself to get some lunch today in my '79 N/A 5-speed down to the local strip mall to get some burgers my way. This strip mall has alot of pavement behind it where all the loading is done for the stores. This road has some killer tight turns and a couple a decent straights. I decided to go ahead and do some Road Racing. I never got the car out of 3rd but it was alot of fun. These cars like to squat and dig coming out of the turns and it feels real good. When I did this in my '92 Camaro 5-speed I was sliding around the tighter turns with the solid rear axle, no such sliding with the 280zx. Being Sunday there is hardly anyone present at this mall, let alone behind it so that's when I do my goofing around there. Here is a pic of the course and note the size of the cars in the parking lot...the exit is where I get my flame broiled burgers. I leave the same way I came in so as to get the full experience.

hmmmmm..... you are a ture looser. lol, jk. looks actually pretty fun, all the malls around here behind them have lots of gravel and trucks and they use only like right angle turns, all squared. none worth racing on.
