the environmental hazard is indeed toxic chemicals that have contaminated the ground water...it's a friggin' EPA clean-up site...remember, they used to drop bombs for practice there.

 

i wonder how much that whole plot of land sells for, ive seen some pretty rich people on i-club, maybe they will be philanthropistic enough to buy it for us









but..yeah right

 

skyline thats prolly the best idea ive hered on this thread lol

 

how about the suby vendors joining up and sponsor the event there. then maybe charge the entrance and participaton fee for those who wants to run,also for cheap of course so you got more guys wanting to compete.as for volunteers you know a lot of the guys here would be very happy to volunteer to do the clean up and staffing.

what do you think gino

 

ok...well, since Iv been living in a cave and never noticed this post....where IS this place.

Im not talking about exact directions, but at least a city its close to or how far it is from Sacramento. I would be willing to have an event held out there...just lemme know when and where!

P.S. The buy-the-land idea is cool..too bad all the "extras" on the property (hangers and radio towers) would crank up the price.

 

it is 20 miles south east of Modesto

 

lets say you came here from roseville and it took you about an hour and fifteen minutes you would need another 1/2 an hour to get to the Airport.

 

I imagine I-club owning a track one day, wow wont that be beautyful. :banana:

Welcome to "I-Club Raceway"

 

Regarding environmental clean up at former military airfields:
These fields all had large underground fuel storage bunkers which generally contaminated the crap out of the soil. Also aircraft maintenance means lots of solvents and oil and other petroleum stuff. Which was usually just dumped onto the ground or put into drums which corroded and leaked into the ground.
It's not the kind of thing that is going to be hazardous to somebody who is visiting the site for a short period. But they have to clean this stuff up to meet EPA regulations.

Also this airfield was not used as a gunnery or bombing range. It was used as an auxiliary field for military and government bases in the bay area. There were ranges nearby but they were not located on the base.

 

"One hundred thousand dollers!" "Muha ha ha Muhahaha"

 

getting it is the hard part, being able to pay for the maintainance and insurance should be simple, these meets and runs will pay for themselves.

 

good luck buying a toxic site. let me know how it goes hahaha

 

haha, I know. Jeez guys I hope your all just kidding, i just want to sneak into the place on a weekend and thrash around for a few hours

 

i think im going to have to gang up all my paintball homies for a night raid assault on the air field ha ha ha... its haunted!

edgar,
ill make sure i bring a side arm... just incase we have to go virtual
