What I would do Is approach the places about a Charity Event FIRST.

Came a little late to the discussion, but this doesn't surprise me. Ive lived in Toledo and then Cincinnati and its happened in both places where the local car forum gets a bad rep when a place does agree to let cars use their lot in the evening for a crusin. You have too look at it from their standpoint. They are trying to run a business and don't want their parking lot trashed or damage. I say damage because Ive been to cruisins where a guy in his beat up ford escort does a burnout and then loses control and drove over a curb. To say the least it was funny shit because he completely tore the suspension out of his car, bent he rims and blew his tires, but he also took a nice chunk of concrete out of the curb and ruined the landscaping in the middle. Not to mention someone standing in the crowd could have been hurt. Which brings liability into the mix. If an owner gives permission for such events they become liable. There are just too many things that can happen. Generally you have highschool kids or just plain dumb people who come to these and ruin it for everybody because they think their car is "da shit" and cause fights, damage, etc.

 

In instances where cruisins have worked before in Cincinnati for a short time the forum would have a events team and they would seek out a place and have people pay to get in. The money went to the police hired to be at the event to make sure no drugs/alcohol was being used. Break up fights and keep people from doing burnouts. The rest of the money would go to the place letting them use their lot for any sort of damage that would happen if it happened. I can't remember how much it cost but it was between $2 to $5. You just have to hope for a lot of people to show up to take care of charges. Which may have been its downfall. Typically an automotive related place would be the place that would allow them to use the lot. We had it at the old Ford plant that was shutdown. Im sure the dragstrip off of I70 (cant remember name) might be willing to do something or even Quaker State. Maybe a tuning shop if they have a big enough parking lot. Jegs maybe. Just my two cents.

solorange is right. cinci's "pay to cruise in"'s were nice because it forced deutschbagery not to attend, then once you met the people and knew who you wanted to race, you met up elsewhere...say at the bum spot... and then if you are feeling devious, 4 wide down 471! of course i never would participate in such illegal activity...

 

cops + cost = a meet without ricers/drama/BS

There were people who tried doing that like 2 years ago. It was usually a bunch of ricers and stereo queers.

 

On Groves Rd (road beween Toys R' Us and red Lobster), off of Hamilton and 70???? That was a guy named Leslie.... I then helped him in doing this, trying to get permits and what not... but we had to get signatures from evey one with in like a mile radius because of a loud sound deal and we would have been heal liable for any racing comming from the spot. So we decided to quit doing it.... there was alot of ricers tho.. At first he had the approval of the lot owner but the cops then said we needed a permit. The money was going to help the lot owner repave it the next year.
