Well folks it looks like the annual Reno National
Championship Air Races (NCAR) is on for 2014.
They have raised all the necessary funds to make another year. What this also means that the purse could be
higher to hopefully bring in more contestants.
The Air Races will be celebrating their 51st year and hope to bring in
more air racing fans. During the past
races the need for the younger generation to participate and lead the charge is
now critical. Younger pilots, owners and
aeronautical engineers are needed to develop planes for the unlimited class to
replace the old world war II fighters which for us old farts has a place in our
hearts with their glorious history. I
have seen concept designs by artists that would be real cool if it was built,
tested and certified. But hey, that's
for the future. There are 6 classes to
choose from now. Formula 1, Biplanes,
Sport, T-6's, Jet, and Unlimited. If you
know someone racing or pick one to follow, it will become exciting. Be part of the next 50 years and establish
your legacy or even rivalries for the fans to cheer on. So make those reservations and get those
tickets and pit passes now. Mark the calendar
for September 10-14 2014. I will be
posting updates and hopefully a little history for you to enjoy.
