BJ,
I checked out the Lodi private airport. Thats a Nice place that is already open to rc events, drag racing etc, so it seems to pretty cool as an option. Noise not an issue, all the set backs look great as long as they would allow us to move up the runway just a bit. Id like to see if you could pursue this more for me. I am after these questions (and this goes to anyone who may have a field for suggestion)
1). Can it be Notam closed
2). Can the noise be a proble (shouldnt be if they drag raced)
3). Can there be RV parking and food vendors allowed
4). Can elec be supplied for course needs and possibly pits
5).Where will the course workers come from?
6).Can any runway lights be removed from edge of runway and then replaced w/o the costs of a FAA tech
7). Whats the cost of the use for 4 days

And thx again for suggesting this place.
