City council agrees to allow Porsche Club to use airpark
Wednesday, June 13th, 2007Members of the West Texas Region of the Porsche Club of America will soon get a chance to rev their engines at McMahon-Wrinkle Airport and Industrial Park, as the Big Spring City Council approved a rental contract with the club Tuesday night.
The contract would allow the club to rent a paved portion of the land at the airpark for what Airpark Manager Col. Jim Little described as “autocross.”“The autocross racing has the driver’s racing against each others’ times,” Little told the council. “The portion of the airpark they would be utilizing is where the police department does its training, so it’s out of the way of the runways and is secured by fences, which would minimize the risk of spectators unknowingly getting in the way.”
According to the contract, the club plans to hold events primarily on weekends and no more often than once a month, paying the city $100 per event day.
