I'll be there in spirit! My old man will probably show up.
Landfill,
Where in the world (literally) are you posting from? Safe travels...we will hoist a few for you!
I count about 42 possibles as of tonight. Looking forward to good friends again this year!
cheers,

Very excited that so many RV folks are headed to Reno! Been heads-down flying off Phase I for a couple mods and getting the paperwork sqared away (all good now), and prepping for race week. Just wanted to check in and say hi, before heading in to race registration!
Mark Frederick, Greg Nelson (the Reno Rocket men) and Dave "RoDoc" Leonard, Steve Senegal and I (the RV reps) are just about ready. The Sport Class guys are calling us the "Metal Mafia", and Mark has stickers with that moniker made up for us!
So please come on out and cheer the "RV/Rocket Metal Mafia", and then let's party at the R3 BBQ! I posted the (semi-pirated) pic below on another related thread, but thought I'd duplicate it here so all can see where to come look for us (we'll be in the Sport Class hangar across from the big RARA hangar...it has a light red box around it in the pic). Below the pic, I've posted a schedule of Sport Class practice, heat and finals races. Lots of racing in other classes all around that schedule, of course...but those are the times we may be out there.
I hope everyone has a safe trip to Reno, and looking forward to seeing everyone here! We are meeting several folks in Minden today, and flying a bit of a mass arrival, with reps from all classes together (Formula, BiPlane, T-6, Sport and Unlimited). 1600 PDT arrival ETA at Stead today (9/9), for anyone already in town.
See y'all next week!
Cheers,
Bob
