I've been meaning to goto Reno for two decades. I figure if I start planning now I might be able to pull it off. WIX Gathering???

I would love to. I've looked at accommodation and airfares, and amazingly (I was stunned) my wife's keen to go as she finds the racing aspect more exciting than a plain ol' airshow, however whether we'll be able to afford it is another thing entirely. I'm optimistic our situation can improve and I can be there in person to cheer the Kiwis!

Maybe I can smuggle myself there in the Full Noise container?

Gonna go as always!! Best time of the year, especially with the Wildfire rumors spiraling around and the sport class gold going to have some real competition.

GOD willing, I’ll be there for my 35th consecutive air race. I camp at the field for 10 days. RARA (the Reno Air Race Association) has several campgrounds, I stay in the RARA West lot sites 1,2,3. Far NW corner of the field at the end of 8-26.

Scott, if you want to camp, I always have room. Bring a tent and sleeping bag and we have all the rest. We also throw a big party on air race Friday, your all welcome to come, I've been working on a source for air race history slide show, it should come together for 2018 .

I'm not going to say anything more on the crewing bit for now. When I know more, perhaps then I'll drop a hint.

Used to be if you wanted a hotel in Reno you had to call early in the morning of January 1st. Maybe they have more rooms available now?

I will be there Sunday Evening before to Tuesday Morning after. I recieved several e-mails from some of the racing classes I follow (ok...I follow them all) recommending making your hotel RSVP early(got mine) as there is another event in town the same week.
