Wow -- can you see much? For sure you can hear them! The Unlimiteds sound SO great!!
Not to be morbid, but just listening to this long (almost 5 minutes) safe-for-the-faint-hearted footage of the race that ended in that awful crash of Galloping Ghost, as seen from the backstretch in an obviously home-made video --
-- well, the sound quality of those wonderful 4,000 horsepower engines approaching 500 miles an hour ... BSamRoberts, you gotta go at least once just to hear them. And pay a bit extra one day to go in the pits where you can look at the engines up close.
You just gotta go!
There’s a hill just above the ‘walmart’ nearby and there is a great view of the whole strip. Sometimes you can catch the PA but it’s free. :>}. If you want to get up close and touchy feely with the planes.......that’s extra. We ran in to Mike Kennedy(Airplane Repo) last year at the Peppermill. Nice guy. The weather this year was exceptionally good. Maybe a tad warm but.................
Finny, have you met Marilyn? :)
Been to Reno air races and got in the pit with Dago Red.
