Quote: What a shame that all of these closed AFB's cannot be used for regular, organized race activities. Be it drag racing, auto-x, skid pads, drifters, etc...
We have a closed air base in northern Mich that a few people TRIED to get a drag strip set up on and it was turned down a few times... area people said it would be too loud(even if they had muffs) but yet they rebuild air craft engines there at Kalleta Air and run the engines for break in all day long... so the kids street race and crash on a regular basis.. plus the economy is down and for some reason they wont open it to help the economy ....IDIOTS
Around here PIR used to do Friday and Saturday night races till 1 am. The local law said if you want to race at night then go to the track. So racers went to the track. Then people bought houses next to the track and complained about the noise. Now the track closes at 10 (may be 10:30); guess where the racers went back to?
