    I went to this event last year and it was a blast! This year the runway is being opened up for high speed runs! Followed by gambling and wine, what else do you need!

    Anybody done this before? What's the area like around the airbase? Nice place to hangout, or is this a trip for just the event? Can anyone compare to the Virginia City Hillclimb?

    Yeah going 150mph legally, while CHP tags you with a radar gun.. what a bore. LOL j/k guess going fast isn't for everyone. Last year they had a full blown autocross event and not ONE Ferrari did the autoX. They had Ford GT's and Lambo SL's out there, but zero F=cars. bummer.

    The evening event is a blast to, charity Gambling, many vineyards in attendance; food from some of the areas premier restaurants etc.. Not a bad way to spend an evening.

    It's actually a pretty great way to spend an evening. We went last year, the first year. Great food, art, jets, wine, cigars, cars, history and friendly folks. Very relaxing. Not for everybody I suppose... :)

    I was already asked on a few questions on the other forums so I am relaying the Q&A.

    Yes this is on the old McCullan Air force Base and the event is on June 8th 2013.

    1. This is a FULL tax right off as it for charity event for the Aerospace Museum
    2. No helmet is required for the race way
    3. Length of speed run is 1/2 mile from a standing start
    4. The winners party is a good excuse to take the Mrs out and get dressed up.
    5. Yes you can dress like James bond as there will be a Martini bar there.
