We , (SFR) used to run @ Crows Landing, an ex WWII landing base out in the valley, north of Los Banos. Wide open run-ways and taxi ways. They even had a POOL to relax in after it was all over.

The problem was tire wear. You'd go through a set in 1/2 hour. The concrete was real rough. We had an IT Festival about 10 years ago for Halloween. Oops, my match sucks, it was 1992, so that would be 12 years.

Yes, your right about the "grass roots" start with SCCA running on airports and country fair's, but just remember that they required leather helmets, lap belts, and t-shirts for safety.
