Reno 2011
Who's going? My wife and I will be out on "High G Ridge" Saturday and in the pits on Sunday. Would be cool to have an RCU meet and greet somewhere in town Saturday night! We are staying at Circus circus.

RE: Reno 2011
Hi All
Was going but on Fri 9-2-11 the board told the fast jets to stay home this year. Curt Brown the 3 time and defending champ in gold will not be able to race Viper 77. Mike Mangold in Race 12 also won't be able to go after his first win. Also T birds won't be in this year as advertised nor will the F-22. Hope you have fun. Just remember the real fast jets were not aloud to fly this year. Race 77 will be there as that is it's home field but you won't see her race even though she is ready to go.

Seems there is a technical problem with certain jets modified by certain people. The Feds are not happy with them. This includes all of the L-29 Vipers.
The Unlimited field this year looks much better than last. It should be very competitive with legitimate fast movers in the Gold.

To Merlin 51,
If Dave Cannavo touched it, it's under the Fed microscope. I don't know where you are getting your information, but that is what the word is from the FAA tech guys. Also Cannavo is no longer the tech inpector for the Jet Class. On the Heather Penney flown airplane there were near 100 squawks found by the Fed from the PRS incident. Deformation was found on the Curt Brown flown airplane too, same places as the failures on the Penney flown airplane. My stuff comes from the Class check airman. FWIW.

I found this video of the Ghost's last race. What a shame! She sure was a sharp looking racer!
