Guys/Gals: This is the official announcement of the 2015 Reno RV Rendezvous (R³) Party, Saturday, 19 Sep. It will be held as usual at my hangar, MA-7. If someone has the Google map of my hangar location from last year, please post. The party is limited to folks who fly, building, or knows someone who is flying or building a RV. The password for entry is R³ pronounced "R cubed" for the mathematically challenged. Don't tell anyone. Personally I liked R3, but Greg Arehart, Geology PHD, says it's R cubed, I yield to the higher educated. The cooking will begin immediately after the last jet has landed, approximately 5:00p plus or minus. My hangar is inside the "dead line" so not available until the races for the day have ended. Hot dogs, hamburgers, and cheapest beer I can find at Walmart. Dayton Murdock has offered to bring his custom homebuilt mobile professional BBQ to do the honors. It don't get no better than that. If you plan on attending, please reply to this email with who and how many. We don't want to be short on burgers and cheap beer. Dan

+2.

Looks like they have finally posted an event schedule.

Looks like the content for Saturday and Sunday are similar. I'm thinking just attending Saturday so we can get back on Sunday. Or am I going to regret not seeing Sunday's races?

Pierre, Dan is probably right. GSR is where many of the Sport and Jet racers stay as well. Things are pricey right now. There are others in the area too. The Eldorado (downtown) is a race-sponsor hotel, John Ascuaga's Nugget is nearby on 80, and there is a Fairfield Inn off the last exit east on 80. Lots more as well, but all probably running short. Rcvd your VM last night…will call ya!

Cheers,
Bob
 
R3

I expect to be there with with 5 crew members/guests (all pilots).

Skylor
RV-8, "Sport 80"
 
I'll be there, with the wife and my two boys. My wife and one of the boys are flying commercial into Reno. For logistics reasons I was thinking of flying the -4 into Reno. If anyone has any advice about KRNO or thinks it's a bad idea let me know.
Thanks
 
I should have posted this earlier, anyway, if anyone from the RV supplier's lists (especially VAF advertzers) are at the Air Races, ya'll too are most welcome. Over the years we have had glass screen reps, motor builders, after market guys, 1 insurance weenie, and upholstery dudes and dudettes. Good place to show your face, talk shop, drink beer and eat burgers. Dan
 
Reno Air Race R? Party Nose Count

As of the time and date of this posting, 67 RV folks have signed up + plus numerous local strap hangers are expected. Looks like a fair to meddlin' turn out. Dan
 
Raffle

Bring some raffle tickets I'll donate some stuff to help you pay for this big party. Thanks for doing it.
 
Any chance you guys can let the gate guards know about the party. We're planning on showing up around 5pm on Saturday like we did last year, and the guard almost didn't let us in the last time.

Thanks!
 
Reno Air Race R? Party Gate Guards

It may be even more difficult to get in this year "after hours" because more activities are reportedly being planned by RARA after the daily races end. This is the first year of the after hours shows , as the years progress they expect to have nightly concerts, and so on. Trying to give the folks a little more for their ticket price, I understand. All these nightly activities require a daily pass to attend. Good luck. Dan
