It seems that way, they were talking in the paper about going private on the airport so they could continue the FLD's

They are only doing them at drag strips now. And PRP said no to them because they are going to do their own flashlight drag. No more airport runways.

That's what I read about Waynesburg, that they would go private if the FAA didn't continue to let them have races.

im not sure how you could NOT hit traffic on McKnightmare rd

i guess you dont drive it at the right time because it can get pretty bad.

i have seen slow moving traffic from the city all the way to the camp horne rd. exit.. almost every morning around 8 its backed up

19 is usually good though

Are there any "good" areas for racing, or do the police patrol pretty heavily everywhere in the area?

22 seems like it would have some good spots as well as 66, but since I'm not from around there, I truly don't know.

Street Racing is no good. We don't partake in illegal activities. Unless you are drunk at 3:30 in the mornig on the parkway and a GXR750 messes with you and you proceed to stomp him and his dumb *** mohawk on his helmet

Every Pittsburgh racing video always has people flying through the tunnels.

Coming home from the bethel park ice rink one night I was messing around with a new viper on 19. Well we came to the northbound light right before the tunnels. I was on the right, we was on the left. Even though I knew he was going to smoke me I still revved. The light turned green and neither of us moved. I looked over than he honked 1,2,3 and let me tell you. The sound of going through those tubes was amazing. We never exceeded 60 though. He would bolt ahead, let me catch up and then we'd do it again!
