On-line article in Kitplanes magazine about Sport Class Air Racing.
Come to Reno in September to see it for yourself. Fingers crossed for Madras and Wendover this year too!

The new venues will offer more opportunity for stock or nearly-stock RVs to qualify. The metal mafia will be showcased at these events.

So how competitive are the guys flying stock RV8 with only 180HP engine? Hmm. I think racers will want at least a highly modified 200HP++ angle valve to stay within the confine of the Sport class.

Nitrous

It’s all about the nitrous. Currently NO ONE is competitive without nitrous. I think they should do a B) Class without nitrous for those of us not willing to blow our motors for the $15 trophy
