Yeah, it is pretty remote, but it is the only venue I have been able to come up with in this area.
Last year, I contacted the officials at Grant County Airport in Moses Lake, Washington as it is a rarely used airport with a 13.5k foot strip, but they said due to usage restrictions, they couldn't do it for risk of losing federal funding. That was the only other place up here that is suitable for any kind of land speed racing.
If anyone has any information on past events held at Alvord, it would help a lot towards getting things on track... the BLM said that the main obstacle will be searching records to see what environmental studies have been done in regards to any past record attempts or events.
I know this is a long shot at this point with everything that will have to be done to get an event up and running, but in the spirit of going fast, I think it should be tried. Adding another venue to the limited list currently available will open doors for people that were previously unable to do so, and will help grow the LSR community.
