My son went to the race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway last year. He said it was pretty cool and plans to go back this year.

The Reno races are MUCH different than the Red Bull races.

Staged.

Safety equipment (helmet) is mandatory in a race.

Could not tell if under the wide shoulder strap padding there's a parachute harness.. prolly not.

Two planes camera'ed up for the shoot, lest anyone get concerned they actually race like that.

This is the reason why I can’t watch the Reno Air Races, Live, Streaming on my laptop as NBC bought the rights. rrrrggghhh... I can’t stand pro sports, other than occasional hockey or a ball game, Reno is the only sport I am interested in and now we got one of the FAKE news channels running it. No thank you, I preferred it unfiltered...

Freakin’ Bear not running again in 2017.

I feel like I need a change. Oshkosh instead of Reno this year.
