Well, the 50th is in the books. The same kid won, but he was riding a different horse. There was good, there was bad, and there was not a lot of ugly, thankfully. Let’s get started with the review.
The UWRC (AKA Unlimiteds) competitors were few and far between, with only 15 racers showing up for race week. But, the big iron was there.

When are the Reno air races scheduled this year?
The air races are great—but they are outgrowing the venue.
This year's races are over. Next year: September 10-14, 2014
Thanks E.S
I thought they were held in October. The last one I made was in 2002, the first show after 911. Was hoping to include a show on my trip to the coast later this coming month... Oh Well!!!
Disappointed in the Bear’s performance but talked to the Ezell team and they say they just ran out of prep time.
Next year the Bear will be back up to warp speed.
Congrats to team Voodoo... you finally pulled it all together.
The old Peristrokia, Checkmate, my fav did very well.
Tom Aberle's Phantom in the Biplane Class was brutually fast with the Late Paul Lipp's magical propeller on it...
One of my friends, and former mechanics worked on 232 this year. Amazing machines. He was pretty bummed when that intake came apart.
The Navy Seal?
No, he is a local air guard mech, who was a contract maintainer out at Fallon
