Air racing was popular and reached its peak during the golden age of aviation between World Wars I & II. It still lives on today, but with far fewer venues than that era. The biggest and most well known today is the Reno Air Races.

There are six classes: Bi-Plane, Formula 1, Sport, T6, Jet and Unlimited. There's plenty of great racing in all the classes especially in the "stock" classes, such as T6, where all the aircraft are essentially unmodified and about equal in performance.

The highlight of the week-long event is the Unlimited Class races. There is basically one rule - the aircraft must be powered by piston engines. There's a minimum weight rule also but, that's about it. Engine sizes top out near 4400 cubic inches and aircraft speeds near 500mph. Generally this class is populated by WWII fighter aircraft, though there have been a few "scratch-built" aircraft, notably the Burt Rutan designed, Nissan GTP automotive powered, Pond Racer and the late John Sandburg's Tsunami. I can imagine the Sport Class aircraft becoming the Unlimited in the future as the old war birds become rarer and the technology of the Sport Class advances.

@tpvalley Well look at it this way, Nothing is more important to our future than our past... Keeping these old warbirds running and popular is an important reminder of a time that's gone for good. As far as wasteful oil use goes these bad boys are a tiny drop in an enormous ocean of wasteful stupidity.

@datzfast When the young will spend more time working on business than playing Nintendo... they will become old dudes with cool toys.

@oldman850 It's no better in Florida, just in case you ever thought of moving here. The bulk of the economy revolves around the Disney cancer, which feeds a seedy carnival midway economy of tourist traps, dying strip malls, MLMs, scams of every kind, fast food, timeshare rackets, etc. Suburban bloat and trailer parks everywhere. We fight with other southern states for the title of Worst School System.

Florida is a very different kind of dump from Nevada but, a dump just the same.

@NikitasGuitars It is a proven fact that the biggest single guzzler of oil in the entire world is the U.S. military. Period. We must all conserve fuel for the war machine of criminal capitalist imperialism.
