Personally, I think the Arlington pilots' concern is way overblown. Even on
those days in which the event draws more than 30,000 and there is a TFR, you
are allowed to fly through the TFR for the purpose of arriving or departing
at the airport.

Most of the resistance seems to be coming from the Blackjack Squadron the
a bunch of squirrels who regard the airport as their personal property and
who resent the idea of there being any rules for flying at all. These are
the guys who practice aerobatics on short final. I know several people who
have had to take evasive action to avoid being hit by these idiots. Tough
luck if a NASCAR track makes them clean up their act.

I think the track will be beneficial for the airport.
