Found abandoned Airport, sheriff says its cool to go there...

Spoke to a few locals who were there at the time, they say not to many people know about the airport. we found a few running RC airplanes at the time. took some shots of me hittin the strip I will post those later tonight and here is a satelite image of the two runways, they are each 2 miles long and 200 feet wide. this port is located in the central valley. stay tuned for upcoming meet.

yeah, just look at the size of the airplane hangers next to the runway for scale

thats why I put a chicane in one of the long straights to bring down speeds a bit before that big last sweeper, honsetly it would probably work to incorporate more of the course right inst the widest portion of the strip, I guess we'll figure it all all when we scope it out next weekend....right?
