Runway Availibility
 

So, my buddy is talking to me about how awesome his cabin is and telling me about the 2000ft+ AIRPLANE RUNWAY they have, APARENTLY, ITS FUN TO DRIVE ON!

its in Hackensack (zip 56452)

How about a race/drag day followed by some beer and fishing? Since its in the middle of nowhere, and since nobody cares about anything up there, how many of you like the idea of driving as fast as you want (can) and not getting in trouble?

It should be good for 1/4 mile runs, and if some of you are ballsy you could go further.....but how long is required for braking?

There is a swamp at the end, so aside from sinking, the chances of someone getting hurt is slightly less astronomical.

Im thinking september-ish so the air is cool, but before it gets wet/snowy.

What do YOU think? Any takers?

so i'm assuming its paved and pretty wide?

Re: Runway Availibility
 

Dude Im so down to go. Sounds like the best idea i have heard in along time.

Re: Runway Availibility
 

Errr... this is going to up the rate of my car breaking. So ok, sounds like a good ass idea!

Re: Runway Availibility
 

My old gf use to have a cabin in hackensack, where abouts is it?
2000' is short, I would suggest a MAX of 1300' of acceleration.

Re: Runway Availibility
 

Hell yeah, as long as its a good stretch i am down. See if you can find out exactly or more info on how long and wide it is.

Re: Runway Availibility
 

holy crap, that would be crazy fun

Re: Runway Availibility
 

Well, yeah, if you are gonna get over 100mph in that 1300 feet, I got nothing to worry about, I'll stay in it until about 1850 or so ;)

Re: Runway Availibility
 

Doesnt the 3S have an adjustable spoiler on the back? Just put it to max, hit the gas and hope that by the end you are off the ground :) haha.

Re: Runway Availibility
 

If you can't get over 100mph in 1300 feet, why bother? :p

I'd stay in it for at least 1320'. Sounds like the exact length of a quarter mile track, it might even have the sand pit at the end.

I keep thinking I should haul my car up to Breezy Point. There's a semi-private airstrip right at the intersection by Breezy, I don't think anyone up there would care if a car made a few runs. I doubt if my car is any louder than a Cessna.

Re: Runway Availibility
 

anyone know any millionares that could rent out the Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport for a couple hours. LOL that would be able to yield some nice high speed runs.

Re: Runway Availibility
 

There is the anoka county airport in blaine, i got to run down there twice.





In my old hyundai excel pizza delivery car.

Re: Runway Availibility
 

I would definatly be down!

Re: Runway Availibility
 

Word.

Re: Runway Availibility
 

Ok, now that I know there is intrest in the idea, I will get an offical date for it, im pretty sure anyone can come, and yes, everybodys car is quieter then the planes that flew off of that.

I will get the exact size of the runway too

Re: Runway Availibility
 

Are you sure its paved? 2000' is a really short runway, most that are that short are grass.

Re: Runway Availibility
 

never mind it is paved, at least as of 02. I just found a story about a Cesna 172 hitting trees at the end of the runway in 02. "runway 14 (2,000 feet by 40 feet, asphalt) at the Webb Lake Airport, Hackensack, Minnesota. "

Re: Runway Availibility
 

yeah, wow, good for you, thats the place...(and thats why my buddy got it for so cheap)

do you want to know something else thats creepy? the guys wife and kid died shortly after that incident, and now their ghosts haunt the house on the property.

so im gonna catch the ghosts and put em in a bottle or something :)
