The Kahuku airfield we used in Hawaii, was closed down after the Campbell
industrial park raceway opened in the early 60's. and is now part shrimp
farm
and the rest abandoned, too short to be used again .
and I read that the Campbell raceway closed two years ago. leaving no place
for the Hawaii guys to run, (Hawaii Raceway Park closed April 2006 )
Ronald Leong (The Hawaiian ) got his start there at Kahuku.
