  • Determination...

    This was the beginning of Saturday's Super Sport Heat race. The photo was taken from Pylon 5 -- perhaps the best place on the Race course to watch Race starts for the faster classes. After many years of struggle, Dacey clearly saw a chance this year, and was determined to make the most of that chance. I think this is about when I really realised who the Super Sport winner was likely to be.

    The Venture may be a small aircraft, but was clearly the Big Dog on Saturday, and Dacey was taking no prisoners...

    Great action shot. That is what racing at Reno is all about.

      I agree that 5 is just a great place to shoot from--amazing lighting. And ironically, it seems every time I\'ve ever been out at 5, you\'re there too!

      I put the camera down and just WATCHED this race on Saturday.

        I think your right about Dacey, his nose is down, his flying was smooth, and he went for the WIN! Congrats 71!!!

          Speed is important. Power is important.

          But in Air Racing, position is vital, and a good start is crucial.

          Dacey always seemed to be in a position that would make anybody else have to really work to get around, and need a LOT more speed to do so. This is the Friday Heat, from pylon 2...
