Yup, the nicest bird sanctuary going for grass-landing
hor'derve birds! (There's not a tree on the site for
birds to live in!)
Oh, and to correct Mr. Foster's mis-information, the
bulk of what was Floyd Bennett field is now a national
park, part of the Gateway National Recreation Area. I've
got the event permit forms right here in my hands. Only
problem is that I don't see an "automobile racing" checkbox
under the reason why you want the site. :-( The NYPD
area is fenced off, and I've heard that they're not exactly
"good neighbors" as far as the park service is concerned.
Still, it might be worth pursuing, especially if they
do use it for police driver training.....
