Its not like you are be given exclusive access to the entire site, you could easily end up busting into the carpark at the bottom of the runway at 200mph and kill someone in there who is nothing to do with the event.
Chip,
Whilst that kind of incident would be regretable, I think it is also the result of you agrreing to put yourself at risk. Airfields are dangerous places - they are built to accomodate things that go very fast.
Anyone that is on site should be made aware that it is a dangerous place to be - a plane could likely mis judge its landing and fall on your head, and an old Sierra could take your legs off at 220mph. Are you willing to accept these risks? If not, then please leave.
There are other complications, Brunters is a busniess and having people trying to do 200mph may put off other potential clients. In this case it would be a sensible decision to not allow the high speed runs.
Truth is, nobody is really bothered if someone else is doing 200mph, but they are prevented doing so not by sound logical reasoning, but by greed.
