but, hypothetically speaking, if somehow you were able to get permission to build such a place, the next thing you would have to do is find money for the insurance - the coverage you will need is roughly $500k-1mil. yes, you can have people sign waivers to say that you are not responsible for anything they do, but you still need to have insurance just incase other people get hurt. such as, a drifter crashes into the audience, you will have to pay for all the people that got hurt/died/whatever. most likely all dreams of creating such a place are now out the window, but theres more! if you can get permission, afford building costs, and afford insurance, theres still the problem that you will not be able to pay for any of it from what you make of drifting events. theres no possible way that you can do this... theres just not enough people that will want to drift. how do i know all this? because me and my cousin planned on donig this a while back and we researched it a lot. we had several different sites, many of them miles away from anyone's house... but we still could not get zoned. its a wonderful idea, and i would love to see it happen, but it just isnt realistic.
