Our club started off as an "outlaw" club, in the middle of nowhere. They would just upkeep the strip as much as they could, and tried to keep the dirt bikes off of it. Then, we went to the County Water Users, who owned the land, and got a lease from them. I think they gave us a 10 year lease that can be continued after completion. When I say BFE (bum fu(k Egypt), I mean no mans land. But it is easy enough for cars to get to. I know that the club had a lawyer to do the paper work. If you have a lawyer in the club, then make him do it for free, and then give him lifetime membership. And thus far, we have had great luck........knock on wood..... The site is only maybe two, three acres. Just big enough for our 700X65' runway, shades and some pit area. We have a fence around the whole thing, or it would be a drag strip for sure! Man is it smooth! The rest is gov. land that is all brush and lizards, and Mexicans looking for freedom (not joking). The only bad thing, is that its legal to shoot guns, what, 2000 feet off to the north of us? Gets loud on the weekends!
