Yes, the runway is very nice. You get kinda spoiled by it though...
You, fly out at Lagoon Valley? Me and a friend also fly out there, although we fly Slope Gliders from "The Rock" up on the hill.
We (VVRC) are having a meeting this Tues. night, 7:30pm, out at the Nut Tree airport. You're welcome to stop by as a guest and meet the members.
BTW, what do you do in the Air Force?
