Deserted parking lot i wouldn't recommend unless it was recently sealed and it was raining. Really the best thing you could do it talk to the local installation about renting it out. Set up a day to rent it for a few hours and get a local group of friends to go check it out. Skid pads have a special sealant on them that makes them super slick when wet. Way less grip and any wet road surface. If you go for a track day and it's raining...not a bad idea to head over to the empty skid pads and do some time on your own there too if you get lucky
