That kinda sucks, might as well just go to the strip on their nights. This won't go over well, but at the F.L.D. one of the big draws was lack of some of the "borderline" safety rules that are in place at the dragstrip.

*Vehicles that run under xxx, providing proper safety equipment is in place in the car. NHRA and IHRA rules apply.

I didn't think it would take the FEDs/FAA this long to pull the plug on the
FLDs, I mentioned last year there was a lot of FED discomfort & pissed off
pilots over the FLDs also the emergency runway issues the FLDs created.

I remember this was brought up one time we were at school and the FAA guys were there talking to one of the instructors

[RUTHLESS]

Oh boy.

So this means that the local police are not giving out enough tickets? lol

I hear the boaters are pissed because the pilots keep crashing planes into the rivers. :rofl:

REPOST!

Always wanted to do that... lol

**** PennDOT and the FAA.

422 is the place to do it.. Over toward Worthington there is a flat about 2, 2 3/4 miles long. I know my bike hits it 186 top speed limiter on there.

There are some primo street racin spots on Route 28 I thought out near me. Me and my dad will run'em a bit, lol! Will just do a loop between the Tarentum and Natrona Heights exits and then, another next to a hill side between the NH and Freeport 908 exits.
