What about at Calverton Airport. It has a 7000 ft and a 10,000 ft runway. We can do some 0-60's, quarter mile and an almost two mile top speed run.

How about access to it? You can't just roll into it and race up and down, can you?

If so.....

I have done it with my 545 SMG, I was just there and did it. It has been turned into an industrial park now, there is a sky diving school operating on one of the runways.
I know the leasing agent there, but I think if we ask permission they will say no because of liability and insurance issues.
He might be able to give me some tips on when is best to go, etc. If there is interest I will check into it.
