Anyone knows an open road in bay area to try the Launch control

Have my car for about 2 months but never had a chance (Find a safe pubic open road ) to test the launch control. Anyone knows if there is an open road with no or minimum traffic so I can try it out? Just wondering where do you guys try it safely not at the traffic light

Cheers!

Yes I am serious and my name is not Shirly (would have been better if you had said "surely you can't be serious. Lol! )

Haha, no I'm just kidding.

US 50 in Nevada. About a 4 hour Drive from there. Wide Open as long as weather is like this.

Hey US Matrix where are you in the Bay? I'd recommend the backroads of Livermore like Highland Rd (its off 580). Great switchbacks & a few great straightaways that often times don't get too much traffic :-).
