Kingdon Airport was built in the early forties by the United States military and was used as a training facility for military pilots. In the mid-fifties a Stockton Police Officer converted its use into what was then known as "Kingdon Drag Strip". The philosophy was to get the kids who were engaging in illegal street racing off the streets and provide them with a safer and legal alternative. For the next two decades the drag strip became very well known through out the racing community and hosted many big name competitors from all over the state. In the mid-seventies, Kingdon was converted back into an operational airport and is currently used for general aviation and flight training. In honor of the many racers and all the exciting memories of the "Kingdon Drag Strip", Kingdon Aiport has once again opened its doors for an annual reunion of drag racing for all to enjoy
