    Interesting. I might have to look into that.

      Is RARA getting a cut of this? I'm not a gambler myself, but anything that might help the financial situation of the races is a plus.

        Make no mistake, RARA's financial situation is just fine...

          I'm not a gambler, lived in Reno 34 years and you figure it out early, that they don't build big casinos for nothing :-)

          Anyway, if thats the case I may add a little extra excitement into Sundays finally and bet.

          Heres my picks:

          1st Galloping Ghost
          2nd Strega
          3rd Rare Bear

                  And I'll just toss in my oft-quoted line from the hydroplane racing side of the house: "I wouldn't bet on a hydroplane race even if I owned every boat in the field."

                      I just wanna see a healthy field on Sunday. The V-12's of Strega, Voodoo, and the Ghost, against the radials of Rare Bear, Furias, Czech Mate, and Dreadnaught, then the Silver, and quite possibly Gold runners of Precious Metal and Sept. Fury, and that my friends would be an outstanding, and quite possibly the best race that we have seen in years! Here's hoping that everyone stays healthy through the week!!!

                          Not a gambler but ever since I started going to the races I wondered why you couldn't bet on them. I will definitely have some money riding on this years action!

                          Now how does it work, I bet that the race numbers of the first two racers add up to 21.... no, wait, that's blackjack, I get a 10x payoff if the colors of the winners match... no, that's PaiGow... I can bet $5 and get $20 per burned piston on any plane I pick in the gold, oh, I think that is Keno...

                          Oh, I know, you place a couple million down to buy a plane then if you win you get something like $100K back, less all your expenses! No! Wait, that's unlimited racing!

                          I may have to study the bets a bit first....

                          OK, I am going to put $2 on the Wildcat to win, with odds that would have to pay out seven figures!
