With the finishing of the new drag strip and the increased traffic on the access road just off the eastern end of our runway, we need to be continuously vigilant about our flying practices. When the access road is carrying substantial fairground traffic, do not fly over the road. Period. A suggestion: If you must take off to the east in high-traffic conditions, taxi to the west end of the runway and make your crosswind turns no further east than mid-field. If your plane needs more runway than this, consider taking off to the west, despite the wind direction. Let's simply keep in mind that we need to keep a buffer zone between our planes and public traffic.
