Thanks Wildboar, You've now got me interested. I think now I would watch it too. But mankini?

By the way, What other planes compete in this race?

Hmmm suppose the mankini would be a bit underdressed....maybe some flip flops too !!!

Lots of classes over the race week, Biplane, F1 class, Jet, T6 (Harvard) class....

Here's a few sample pic's of plane's at Reno "Unlimited" class from recent years .....Enjoy Mr Pope......some you will need your sunglasses !!!






























And now my all time favourite " RareBear " (Modified Bearcat)ok I admit its a pimp my ride one too far !!!
