Airstrip Attack: Private Runway Shootout in February,Rolling Side by Side Competition



Hey guys and gals, after a lot of time and effort, we put together a private runway shootout. Some of us have waited our whole lives for something like this... and Shift-S3ctor brings you our first Airstrip Attack event! I am posting in this in most sections to reach out and get the widest variety and most awesome cars to do battle.


Where: Inyokern Airport. 1669 Airport Road., Inyokern, CA. 93527.
When: Saturday, February 25th, 2012. 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
What: A 1/2 mile, rolling side by side competition.


This first Airstrip Attack event is expected to bring various types of cars together to do some high speed, side by side racing on a newly paved airstrip. You will be able to start from a roll, 25 mph to 50 mph, and accelerate for 1/2 mile, against your friend or enemy. It will be a War of the Worlds, as we expect a variety of American Muscle, JDM and European machines to show up and do battle. A winner will be announced at the end of the day.


We are aiming to keep racing off the streets and provide a badass outlet to race your car, flat out, against whoever you choose.



We have rented a private airstrip in Southern California to have this side by side battle of horsepower to see the baddest street cars at war. Inspired by Dragtimes and the Moscow Unlimited (both events in europe), we decided it was more than necessary to put the baddest street cars in the states head to head. No more bench racing or youtube arguments, this is for real.


From stock cars to highly modified vehicles, all are welcome. Convertibles are required to have a roll bar. ALL participants are required to bring and wear helmets. Tech Inspection will be heavily enforced. There is no fuel on site but there is a gas station 5 minutes away. You may also bring your own race gas. Keep it off the streets and do it legally in a safe environment! Professional video and photography will be on hand.


Awards will be given for:
Fastest car of the day.
Fastest tuner of the day.


There will be a handful of performance shops out there sponsoring the event as well as participating with some crazy shop cars.


Some of the shops include Cunningham Motorsports, BBI, Gintani, ESS, and HG Motorsports.


Early pricing right now is at $225 per vehicle, which includes unlimited runs throughout the entire day. We expect somewhere between 15 and 20 runs per vehicle.


This is a LIMITED NUMBER event. This will not be open to the public to spectate. Only those participating and their immediate friends and family can attend.

Register soon, early pricing will not last long and it is a limited number event.

We will have everything from 300 horsepower to 1300 horsepower.

And yes, the pop up factory roll bars are sufficient

This seems like it would be a lot of fun. My C63 would be pretty puny among that pack of heavy hitters registered for the event.

Already signed up, and there will be more, a handful of 400-500 horsepower cars that will be fun to run

It would be fun to see how slow my stock ride is against all the other cars, but that's just too far away for me.

Looks like about 2 hours each way for me, so 4 hours (and probably $100 bucks in gas) to get there & back is too far for me . But I applaud your dedication
