bunch of guys get together and organize some racing just like the old days. go when the light goes out (or comes on in some cases). they run at 4 differant air ports in the western portion of Penn. basically they are street racing on airport grounds but up untill recently had been perfectly legal. now some schmuck that works for the state wants it stopped even though the Airport owners appearently have no issue with it at all. its a good time though...just picture Fast and the Furious 1 when they're running on the old abandoned air port...same concept.

Take $5 donations toward feeding diseased paraplegic orphans or something, then watch any politician try to shut it down (until somebody pokes their eye out).

Something like that would be nice around here, but I don't see it happening. Best of luck to you guys though, seems the politicians don't like us very much.

Always had a good time there, Ebensburg, never saw more than a couple planes a week use this small airport. Had over 2 thousand people there for the drags.
