    I think I'll have to start saving up for a visit to this (I might have enough in say, 2010).

    Yeah Reno is cool. I've got a book showing some of the planes that compete. Some of them are very very nice. In fact most of them are

    Isnt it the only air race in the world now?

    I think air racing still goes on in a few places. Even good old Blighty. There was an article in the July edition of Flyer magazine about air racing in the UK, though it was handicapped by engine size and staggered against the clock rather than an out right neck to neck race. I think it was this ~ http://airraceuk.com/main/frameset.htm

    Stick a man (or lady for that matter) in a machine and he'll find a way to race it

    Air racing every year at Jurby Airshow... proper neck and neck racing, although the different classes of aircraft are staggered... last year a Yak-52 and 2 P-51s owned everything in the sky
