Im turned off my tracks like that, no embankments, not edges painted on the track pavement, just cones... set really far apart no less!

The track day i had at Fontana Speedway was AWESOME compaired to parking lot tracks. Do you have any realllll tracks out there?

Maybe I'm confused by what you are saying, but the link that djlomas posted is an autocross, which is what we're all talking about.

Ahh ok, i just got the terminology mixed up. So autocross is like a parking lot track and track day is... well a real track course, right??? or am i still wrong?

Ah! Alright, I see what you are saying. Terminology miscommunication!

Yeah, this type of event is called autocross... where people mark out a course in a big open area (like a parking lot) with cones, and navigate through/around them. Most people that I know call it a course as opposed to a track. If you just say "track" most people think you are referring to a REAL track.. a course that's completely paved, and doesn't need cones because you either follow the pavement or go into the grass or walls, hehe.
