Car on an old NASA Airfield

m3dragon · 05-09-2012, 02:28 PM

Some of the images after a Bay Area meets Sacramento drive. Shots were taken at an old NASA air field.
For all the images see: http://www.svbmwcca.org/albums/Liver...512/index.html

I will plan another trip to the airfield if it is possible. Just keep an eye on the regional section for me to post the drive =)

Wow.. were you guys able to drive any straightlines? I would love to just do some runs there.. is that base open to the public?

m3dragon · 05-09-2012, 03:51 PM

We had rules of no speeding but it was "loosely followed" ;-) You have to get permission to be on the airfield as it is controlled by the local sheriff. Will be going back for better photo opps and drive shots.

Damn thats cool

People keep asking reply post.

I did not know this when we where there but runway 1 is 8000 feet long and runway 2 was 7000 give or take 100 feet.

As for getting on, we worked with the local sheriff to gain access. I am working on getting us back out there again soon. This is not a free reign location, meaning that if everyone starts bombarding our contact or some ONE does something stupid on the field, we all will lose this amazing opportunity. So right now I am controlling the info on the facility so we we all can have access to it. I hope you can step back and see my logic behind this so please do not ask for the contact. You will have to join our group when we go again.
