Default Legal Places To Ride

Well my dad thinks a go-kart would be cool but he says there is no where to legally ride one and he has a point. Can anyone offer advice on how to find places to ride or any places to ride near MD? I tried looking on the internet but all I could find was places where you have to use their karts.

HELP!

big parking lots are good. Schools are good.

Empty/abandoned parking lot, worst they can do is tell you to leave.

Private properties would be ideal, provided nobody complains about it and you're not disturbing anything.

you can rent go kart tracks when no one is using them, it's technically the most legal thing.

i think most people don't care, as long as things aren't dangerous and nothing is being destroyed, there's not much to care about. the main reason people complain is either someone's messing up their property or theres a risk of someone getting hurt on their property and them being responsible.

Dang, talk about a rat! That's just a little too extreme.

Not just that, but call the cops cause they drove "by" the house? That's just ridiculous.

Just call up your local kart track see what they will charge you to rent the track for the day you and some friends and ride your kart there.
