Winds Cancel Reno Final from AVweb Top News
Steve Hinton won the big title at the National Championship Air Races in Reno on Sunday but it wasn't the way he wanted to win. "It's more than kind of disappointing," the 23-year-old Hinton told the Reno Gazette-Journal. The final race of the Unlimited Class was cancelled because of high winds (southwest gusts to 30 knots) so Hinton won based on his final qualifying time in Strega, a highly modified P-51 that earned its ninth title with this race. It's the first time in the 47-year history of the event that the marquee race has been cancelled. "It was a safety issue," said Mike Houghton, president and CEO of the Reno Air Racing Association.

Reno – Day Four and Five from aroundthepattern.com
Day four was Saturday. More heat races and the Snowbirds show and the super-loud F-18 demo. (Make sure that you bring earplugs when you attend the races.) I got out of the hangar for a little while, but spent most of the time there talking with the people who stopped by.
After the racing had concluded on Saturday I helped out with a BBQ dinner that some of the RV builders on the airport have started hosting. Each year on Saturday night the Stead RV builders host a BBQ for anybody who has built or is building one of Van’s RV series of aircraft. Last night about 55 people showed up for the donations-only dinner. No, I have not built an RV of any kind. Since I brought one of the BBQ units, offered to cook and have a metal airplane they said they’d let me stick around and have dinner. Nice bunch of folks from all over the U.S. and Canada. ...
