I pretty sure hotrod magazine sponsors one on the east coast. Can't remember where though.
I checked into them and you need to be certified to run fast and your car needs to have a lot of safety equipment. Even Dougs vert needed to add stuff.
It would be great.

I would love to do one of these but I don't know if I could do it with my gearing. 6 speed, 3.90's, and a 6k redline (stock cam). Anyone know what a stock C5 would do in the standing mile? I trap 115 in the 1/4 but IDK what that would equate to in the mile. I need a cage too I believe for the mile?

I never heard about the stepped up safety regs. I thought you could just sign a waiver, slap on a helmet and have at it. Oh well, maybe one of these days someone will rent an airport and let us play.

We have any abandoned airstrips near us?
I cant think of any... I know why, because if there was one, its now a big housing development!
That would be awesome if someone knows of one in or near Jersey!

If you want to go fast, and dont want to install safety equipment then you need to go to florida. I just did www.MileMarker-1.com and it was a blast !

This one would be awesome if it wasnt that you would need a full cage.

Is this the airport? It looks like it is in good condition!
Update: Just found some pics from 2006, the runway is 2,159' long!
Here is a cool website that has a bunch of abandoned airports in NJ: http://www.airfields-freeman.com/NJ/Airfields_NJ_E.htm
Slight Problem: "I drove by... the place was plastered with no trespassing signs.”"
