We'll be there
Marcie and I will be there. We will also have a rental car should anyone need pickup/delivery. Our RV8 will be at Truckee. We will have just attended the Tailhook and Squadron Reunions in Reno so we'll be ready for some RV talk.
Is there anything we can bring?
Greg, we'll miss you and Julia, but we'll be back!

Put me down as a "local" help volunteer as well Dan (if that wasn't obvious from Louise's post). I'm living at Greg's house, so if you need anything from there, just let me know.

Lots of vendors, mainly food, clothing, airplane models, aviation artwork, toys, expensive watches, etc. Mostly memorabilia type things.

Mike brings up a good point......it would be nice to be able to call some of the VAF folks at Reno.
I am not buying a lot of roaming minutes, but will have lots of 'text' on my cel#.
Mine is 250 86tree-68niner5 so feel free to txt me.
( do we sound like a bunch of teenagers or what???)
If your aren't keen to post your phone #, I'm curious...... is there is a better way? surely you guys do this all the time at the big flyins!

Hey guys!
This may be slightly off topic, but it's because I saw the huge number of first-time Reno Air Race visitors in this thread. I'm not a Van's owner, but I am a friend of the type--If you guys need tools or spare parts, find Bob Mills and he'll get you in touch with me.
Less than two weeks!

...gettin' crowded in here! :)
so far I see about 36 responses...sheesh, I think we'd all better bring a six-pack or 2!
Is there any chance of putting anything on ice in the hangar first thing in the a.m.? if I ride the shuttle from town, I imagine there's a limit on how many pallets of cargo one can bring!....and it's bound to get kinda lukewarm if'n I hafta sit on it all day!

more Reno info please
Ok, I am counting sleeps until we leave for Vancouver/Seattle/Reno....and I'm thinkin' I may not have access to VAF near race time.
......anything new on the BBQ?
I hope to run into some of you guys on Friday to plan for the Sat. evening, perhaps I can help in some way......
Is there a favourite watering hole after races, or a place to meet?
I am at the Peppermill all week, but driving around Tahoe part of the time.
Anyone have a recommendation for a car rental place?
( surely a VAF hat will get you a discount, right?
