One dude from the Marauder boards works in what used to be one of the control towers so we used to have meets up there where we would grill and just hang out all day, then we would go out to the runway and race, do top speed runs whatever. One time when we were there a dude on a bike came out and did a run where he claims he hit 200+, we saw a Viper SRT10 out there before.

What happened? The city installed a security camera monitered periodically by the police and if they catch you out there on the runway the immediately dispatch a unit and it doesn't work bookin it cause they installed another camera by the only exit that has high enough resolution to get your plate number as you buzz by.

yet i'm sure if there was street racing in the town they'd wonder why.

Liability; it wouldn't be long before some douschbag got hit by a car b/c he decided to walk his dog in that industrail park or empty air strip. he would say some crap like he didn't hear or see the racing cars...he would sue everyone, and god forbid he was killed, his family would sue the entire state claiming some b/s that it supported and/or condoned illegal and recklass activity in a "public area". Gone are the days when ppl said "served him right" when someone gets hurt being an idiot (think running across 295).

I'm sure Atco has some liability when you race on their track; that lil sheet don't mean squat in court. Let someone find out you died in a race b/c there was a rock on the strip....

That is why they don't let u race on empty air strips or abandoned industrial parks. No one is responsible for themselves anymore or to what happens to them. Someone else HAS to be responsible, it HAS to be someone else's fault, not theirs....
