Where to bed pads

syrarch04 · 04-09-2007, 04:19 PM

Where do you guys do it so that you can make the set of hard stops, but also be able to drive around at close to highway speeds w/o hitting the brakes again to let them cool? A big open lot would be good for the stops, but I don't know about circling the parking lot at 60 for ten minutes.

if you're in syracuse i'm sure you can find some empty roads to do it.

I use a road in back of where I work..I suggest looking for an industrial complex and using one of the roads there on the weekend.

Bring your car down to Manhattan. I can bed the pads for you racing the cabies from light to light

LOL whatever you do, dont do what i did. I used this backroad inbetween two neighborhoods thats probably 1/4 mile long. There was plenty of space to bed them, but some of my angry neighbors came out and called the cops on me

there's a highway near me that's pretty empty at night. i just used that at 3am and it worked out fine for me.

Look for a big parking lot thats somewhat close to a highway so you do your braking in the parking lot then jump on the highway and take it to an exit which is approximately 5 mins away then jump off the highway and take it back in the opposite direction back to the parking lot.

Just find some industrial/business areas and go on Sunday when no one is there.

Nice... You don't have to go 60 to let them cool, you just can't stop for any extended period of time, that's all :P

I live by an airport in a very small town. The airport has 3 flights a day. Once operations are over I can drive on the airport access road as fast as I want. There is no one there. I used to do top speed runs there too but I found that the road was too bumpy after 140MPH (as in, catch air kind of bumpy).

I use back country roads.
