Did you use tilt-shift video at one point or was that post processed to look that way? @bing that red supercharged M3 looks a bit faster than your red supercharged M3 🙂 Excellent video as usual :tup: ---

Niagara Falls Airport only flys commercial on Monday and Friday. I thought as long as they had 2 run ways it was an option. ---

Don’t they only have 2 runways? We’ve never looked into it there, especially after having trouble with FORMERLY used runways. And insurance is another matter… the process with our BBQ & Burnouts insurance was hassle enough, lol. ---

> [@2TurboZ](#): > > Niagara Falls Airport only flys commercial on Monday and Friday. > > I thought as long as they had 2 run ways it was an option. Basically, they have to have two NON INTERSECTING runways for this to even be an option at any place that would even remotely allow it. Or be non functional like Seneca, who no longer allows automotive events of any kind. I suppose the real question is, how far would people be willing to drive for something like this? ---

Ya the Mojave mile is a joke with the amount of safety regulations they have, but I think most of theirs are the airports rules. Its also a solo car run event. Shift S3ctor does a head to head drag race and the safety regulations they have in place are more then enough. If you can find a 1 runway airport that can shut down for a day, that would be the way to go. It’s a lot of fun and nice to know you’re not breaking the law. Thanks guys! ---

I would LOVE to do something like this but I don’t have any vehicles worthy. I would indeed run my W12 to see if it can actually hit the speed that top gear said it could hit. rumor has it somewhere in the 180’s ---
