BNA has a second runway which has been closed for some time. The second strip is currently used as a drag strip by Bremerton Motorsports Park. In 1954, Kitsap County Airport was the site for the SCCA Seafair Nationals. This was Ferrari's debut on a Northwest track at a time when the company was just starting to dominate west coast sports car racing.
