Too close for comfort. Surprised the pilot didn't get his numbers called in.

I just learned that the track owns the airstrip too and that the owner takes off in his plane indiscriminately. We (POC) are there in 2 weeks and will be asking for some reassurances this will not happen when the track is hot....

Hmm. Then why are his wheels up? That looked really low.

Just like the clown who owns Spring Mountain, buzzing the track with his helicopter when cars are on track.

In the OP video, the landing gear was up, so we can only conclude this jackass was purposely being a jackass.
