I recently trailered my car to the Carabelle, FL half mile event (14 hrs each way). You may have seen the videos and pics that I posted from the event. It was by far the most fun that I have had since I have owned my Viper. We paid an entry fee of 85.00 and could run all day.
I would love to put together a similar event in our area. I know someone who is involved in the management at the Festus airport and I think we could make it happen there. However, due to the length of the runway we could only get 1/4 mile passes in.
Benefits are reduced inspection requirements (no rollbars required for higher hp cars), more passes than at the drag strip, better atmosphere.
My questions for the Gateway members are;
Would you be interested in doing this event if it involves only 1/4 mile passes?
Does anyone have contacts at some of the longer private/public airstrips where we can do 1/2 mile passes?
Thoughts?
