I'm booked in for Saturday and Sunday at the races and look forward to meeting up again.

I'll have spare seats to/from the KRNO area (Best Western Hotel) Saturday evening and Sunday morning if needed

Default I'll be there

Hey Guys, I will be in Reno with my RV-7 and already have pit passes, I'll definitely swing by the BBQ after the show on Saturday. Looking forward to meeting some of you I have seen on VAF over the years.

Chad, be ready to talk about my VP-X. Love it and have been using it for 200 hours now. Still have a couple questions I want to throw your way.

Looking forward to it. - Thx

I posted the info below in another thread about Sport Air Racing, and thought it might be valuable info here as well…and some more mojo to keep this thread alive for Dan and Greg, and pump up attendance at the R3 BBQ!

The Sport Class (the class RVs fly in) is running 4 heats this year, and currently has 38 entries, with a bunch of RVs! The line-up in each heat looks to produce some very competitive racing this year, with more than one group of closely matched racers in each heat. It should be a lot of fun to see!

Among all that glass are 3 Rockets, 1 S-RV or RV/Rocket (or whatever you call mine) and 6 RVs. There would have been 8 RVs but 2 have had to scratch.

Here's your Metal Mafia line-up, Rockets, then RVs, in race number order:

12 Mark Frederick F1 Rocket
17 Chris Schaich HRIII
49 Bob Mills RV-S6
57 Bill Beaton HRII

16 Charlie Greer RV-6
27 Jim Wilson RV-8
26 Scott Farnsworth RV-8
41 Kevin Eldredge RV-8
84 Stan Sutterfield RV-8A
314 Scott Prewitt RV-4

If you come to the races, look for the Rockets in the main RARA hangar (where the Formulas are), and look for most of the RVs across the ramp from RARA in the big hangar by the fence. Kevin and Scott will have their RVs in the hangar next to the other RVs' hangar with Relentless NXT and a Lancair…all in a very nice display location set up with Titan Engines, Aircraft Wraps and other sponsor displays.

Please do come and visit us…we'd love to see our RV friends there!

Qualifying begins Monday, first heats Wednesday afternoon. Full-day racing from Thursday through Sunday. The RVs and Rockets will likely be in the first two heats each day, so get there by 9 am to see the RVs fly!

"Fly Low, Fly Fast, Turn Left!"

And go to the RV BBQ!!

Cheers,
Bob
