FReepers go to the Races! (The Air Races That IS!)
Reno Air Race Association ^ | 30 June 2005 | hattend

It's that time of the year again, start making plans, get your vacation plans in order. Get your hotel reservations NOW!!! (they're going quick)

Are any other FReepers going?

Dashing Dasher is a FReeper Racer (#4, Biplane Class)!!!

My wife and I are Rare Bear Fan Sponsors and we can't wait to see the Bear defend it's title this year.

I was thinking of taking my 5 year old this year (gotta keep that interst up), but it'll need to be a day trip.

Make sure to have plugs to protect those 5 year old ears from noise - they're more vulnerable to long term damage at that age.

oh! ... and have fun!

This year, we will be having the USAF Thunderbirds AND the Canadian Snowbirds. Ear plugs are a necessity!

For the last five years, I have sat through a full week of the jet shows and ALWAYS bring ear plugs - and sunscreen.

I've been a fan sponser for a couple of years now. We went to the Bears first race in many years in 2003. Alas, we can't go this year...blew a wad of cash bushflying in Idaho & Oregon last month.

I have always liked this one:

A graphics company was supposed to start making these but they have to redraw the image first.

Sorry you can't make it. The Bear is supposed to get some aero cleanup for this year's race...I can't wait to see what they are doing.

Rev DMV,

I'll get back to you in this thread in a couple of weeks about this to confirm but:

If you and your son are coming out for Thursday or Friday, I may have 2 box seats (includes pit pass and special parking pass) available each of those two days. I say "MAY" because my wife is still waiting for a response from friends.

If the friends drop out I can let you have two seats on one or both days cheaper than list price.

Now, don't count on this, yet...I'm just giving you a heads up and will firm it up in a couple of weeks if you are interested.

Tnaks for the ping.

Love to attend, but don't think I'll be able to this year. Depending on my mother's health and circumstances, I plan to attend next year.

Go Bear!

Let's try to get a tentative number and we'll throw out some options. It's great BBQ weather, so maybe we can go that route? Looking forward to getting something together. Would love to meet some fellow FReepers.
