Sad. Sounds like they wanted to see how fast they could drive the car. I guess the runway lights were off. Private airstrip? Probably only 3000-3500 feet - about 1/2 mile.

Burroughs said it was not clear how the car got onto the private Greystone community airstrip -- the same one actor John Travolta uses for his aircraft -- but the car was driving north on Runway 36, which is 1.5 miles long.

The length of the strip caught my eye. Travolta flies airliners. I think he owns three.

Mile and a half. Pretty big "private" strip. Great drag racing territory, until you hit the end...

The piece says the runway is 1 1/2 miles long.

Jumblo isn’t your normal airpark. Big money there. Built by the founder of Amway it has a 7550 ft long 210 ft wide paved runway and many have large jets that live there.
I live on an airpark about to hundred miles south and we too have nut jobs that drive their vehicles on our runway,

Mile-and-a-half. Travolta flies his 707 off this strip.

They had plenty of time to get up to speed.
