New 1/8 mile track near LA?

[SundayNiagara]

My old office was at Banning Airport and there aren't any plans for pretty anything there. And the FAA will not allow motor sports on a airport these days.

Immokalee Regional Raceway is adjacent to the airport runway.

Mark, just dont attract attention to the FAA. Inyokern ran for 50 years and I forget what brought the FAA in but as soon as they found out about the dragstrip, CLOSED! Snake River was pretty much the same.

Perhaps it's a case of one day events vs. regularly scheduled events. I honestly don't know either. However, it appears that the Go Kart Track is back up and running at the Santa Maria Airport.

Mike, with all due respect, I think you're wrong. First I know that Mike DeMilles shot a music video on the Camarillo Airport Video several years ago using some drag cars. If that's not enough then Randy Winkel says that Dragfest is leaving Famoso for the Shafter Airport who is waiting with open arms. And if that's not enough, there are many photos on Google showing racing on airport runways "drag racing at Airports." And if that's not enough, there's Eagle Field that happens twice a year. There is this to explain everything to consider: http://www.airportdragracing.com/

Just sayin' airports can be closed for other events like a filming production and more.

For years Air Force base in Knob Noster Mo. let racers use east west runway for years .This is where the Stealth Bombers are stationed now. I actually got the pleasure of ;winning a big pay event there ,once .

There is a once a year drag race at an airport in North Dakota. http://www.jamestowndragracing.com/ The airport is not super busy as after the flight I was on came in they locked the airport but there were hangars of private airplanes that may use it more than commercial planes do.
