Airport Tracks

[John]

I'd like to convince a local airport manager to turn the the town's small airport into a race track for a day. I've heard of clubs having done it before but I don't know what airports those may have been. Do any of you know of one?

Thanks

There have been several. La Junta, CO has for many years and is still running I believe. Stapleton Airport, Denver ran races in the late 1990's.

Just stumbled across this one that is going to be held on Sept 22. Held in Clayton Ga. in the north Ga. mountains at the Heaven's Landing Airport.
