My Altima I use to have on the runway at the old Grumman Facility, This is where they use to build F-14 Tomcats, Intruders. It has been closed for a long time and most of the airport has been turned into businesses but the runways are still there.

Important questions for you. Where in NY is this and if I were to go there, would I be able to drive my car on the empty runway? I used to live in NY and go their to visit friends a couple times a year. I might have to stop by this runway on my next trip :)

This is in wading river near the Calverton military cemetary. I have heard stories of cops busting people on it, but I have been there several times and have never beem bothered. The fastest I have gone was maybe 110-115 in the Altima, it was at night, I would use caution because of all the deer. You use to be able to drive right onto the taxiway then onto the runway. But they have recently broken up the road from the main road to the taxiway, but you can still get to it by going on the dirt/grass for a little. There are two runways that run along side each other if I remember they are about 1 mile long. If you ever go make a few slow passes because there are a few old landing light fixtures at the end of the runway on the sides that would be bad if you hit them. We are currently trying to get a 1/4 drag strip built here since there are none on the Island.

yea it's worth saying that at the airstrip event... most people are not allowed to participate. all i've ever seen running were certain cars from forged

NEGATIVE... the event is open to all who want to participate. Just last year only one NA 370Z showed up (Sharif's). Even a few locals ame by and signed up on the spot to run, a GTO, Vette and Viper. The Viper got spanked repeatedly by Paul in his GTR. Forged sponsored the event last year, so several of their customers showed up, but Hal from Injected Performance was top dog with his 9 second custom GT42 setup.

Regardless, its a great time and fun to make all out passes with whatever you bring :tup:

Your max is special though. It got a little extra Z blood in it. I've seen plenty of Z's following it around like they're ducklings.

Eh, mine doesn't seem to have any trouble past 100. Either its the Unicorn blood, or they put in the VQ37HR in there by mistake :bowrofl:
