With the FAA Waivers in place and the weather forecast approved for insurance purposes, the Ely Air Races are on, starting Wednesday of this week.
This is a first ever event in Nevada. Formula One Class Pylon Races at the highest elevation airport ever held.
With hundreds of volunteers committed and thousand of hours in preparation, the community encourages visitors of all types. Flying in is super, with new tiedowns set up, but note the airfield close hours by NOTAM. RV parking area is new and can be booked in advance. This is a remote area, just under 4 hours driving from Salt Lake City or Las Vegas, and about 6 hours from Reno.
Hotel rooms still available. No more rental cars available, but contact me for help with a vehicle.
