No, I was stating specifically a Boxing event - an arena.. Inside the arena where two boxers are desiginated to fight inside the RING, its legal..the general public is not at risk. Outside the RING - if two spectators (or even Boxers) were to engage in a fight inside the ARENA but outside the designated ring - they can be legally detained. - The same analogy applies to a drag strip.
The actual STRIP is designated for burnouts, heavy acceleration, high speeds and is also closed off to the general public. A general parking lot is generally NOT closed off to the general public.

If its closed off (coned, signed, or in some way showing that the general public is not to proceed) the one exception that I question is if there were employees around the vicinity who have authorization to be within the property limits who are unaware of these events... (Even though the loading dock is off limits to the general public, it is still not designated as track / high speed use, you are still endangering the "public" if you pose risk to
unwary employees (and by this I mean anyone who is either unaware or hasn't accepted the risks you imposed) within the premises and on that note, yes..you can still be ticketed.)
I'm only going by what the law states. By law we can't even use long tube headers.. meaning most of our cars are illegal. What actually happens on the property at 2 am - 4 am in the back of a loading bay with absolutely noone around, I doubt anyone is going to give a damn about..but legally..the infrastructure is in place to ticket you for it.. in reality.. the way the law is setup..a cop ALWAYS has a reason give you a ticket if he really wanted to.
