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.
