Assuming the hurricane that's heading to Charleston doesn't take us out, I'm heading to Reno on Monday to Monday and my fiance is coming out Thursday to Monday. She's never been to the races before before but she's being drug over to help with the Canadian and raffle ride T-6s.

Who else is going?

I'll be there, helping John Lohmar with Race 28 T6. Mike Rawson is flying out with John on Thursday to go through tech inspection and get qualified. I am coming out on the following Thursday and leaving on Monday after the finals.

I might go out to Reno for a couple of days of qualifying. I would have room for 1 or 2 riders if anybody in Colo is interested. It's a nice turbo Bonanza, not a warbird. One big problem, I waited to the last minute so don't know if I can find a room yet.
Does anyone know which days the unlimited qualifying is?

They can start qualifying Monday, some will, some won't, but they can take the clock on Monday.

I'll be flying in Saturday the 6th, and staying until Monday the 15th.

Bill..... I think I'm staying at the Sands (like Terrible's Sands Casino) downtown. Seems like lots of rooms left. I think I paid like $$650 with tx for the 4th to the 15th (YEAH I Mean its dirt cheap, worked out to $58 a night plus a bunch of taxes).....

Steve,

Keith and Vic McMann are racing their T-6s this year. Red Knight race #64 and Gunslinger race #66. I haven't forgot about the Dublins yet!

I have got to fly 600 n miles each way if I go and I can only be there Mon night till Wed. Iwonder if it is worth it just to see those first days. Anybody got any advice?

This will be my 25th year taking the family truckster F-90.

Bill I think the best days are the first 2 of qualifying and the last two of racing. I would definitely go if you can.
