Dragstrip in Jacksonville? Has anyone heard "TALK" of trying to get IHRA use of one of the runways at Cecil Airport? It would be great if it works out. I heard it from one of the other fathers at my sons Boy Scout meeting.

there is no abandoned air field at cecil. the strips all tie in together in an e-w / n-s semi-cross. as i said before... there are still government agencies out there using the facility and i dont see them allowing the general public onto their tarmacs. not to mention the HUGE liability that the city would be accountable for and i dont thinks the current budget has any surplus for the needed insurance.
there is / was an air strip they used for carrier like landing and take offs in white house, but not cecil. i have been living right next to cecil for over 27 of my 50 years of life.

And I am military with access to the base. There are other parts of that base that are abandoned and there not located there. There is an abandoned section off new world that has munitions bunkers and abandoned structures. Plenty of space over there for a strip and required buildings. I've been through this area trust me it's there. I get it you've lived for 50 years but you can always learn something new

b... the op stated that the runways were to be used and that was what i was commenting on. not retired bunkers and vacated buildings.
we have be authorized to to use the white house facility that i mentioned earlier, but still i would like to know the strip at cecil that you "personally" have used for public drag racing so i can be proven wrong and shut me the hell up so i might waste my time on something better than this conversation.
