Can the qualifying schedule be posted? I mean does the qualifying simply open on a certain day, or are aircraft like Dago scheduled to run at a specific time? I certainly want to see the qualifying runns of Dago Red and September Fury.

There are generally two practice/qualifying slots per day (Mon-Weds) per class. Sunday has only one slot and is for practice only, there are no timers or pylon judges out there. The only schedule I know with any certainty is for the biplanes, as our class president sent the schedule out to our class. It is:
2003 PRACTICE / QUALIFICATION SCHEDULE
Sunday 9/7 = One session only (1100 - 1200)
Monday 9/8 - Wednesday 9/10 = Two sessions per day (0850 - 0940) & (1300 - 1330)
2003 RACE SCHEDULE
Thursday 9/11 = Heat 1C (0825), Heat 1B (1020)
Friday 9/12 = Heat 2C (0825), Heat 2B (0855), Heat 1A (1020)
Saturday 9/13 = Final 3C (0825), Heat 2A (1020)
Sunday 9/14 = Final 3B (0825), Final 3A (1020)
The order has typically been IF1, Biplane, Sport, T-6, Jet then Unlimited. I may have the Jets and T-6's backwards. Jets may also only have one slot. It's been a year and usually at that time of day I'm usually in the hangar turning wrenches, so the memories are getting a little fuzzy.
As someone else mentioned, there is no particular time that a particular plane qualifies. If they're ready, the pilot will call for the clock. I usually shoot for Tuesday so if something isn't working I've got another day, but that's just me.Jeff Lo

Schedule
The Reno Gazette Journal publishes a schedule and results daily through the week.
In the past, Unlimited qualifying has been Mon-Wed, 1st run around 1100 or 1145, 2nd run around 1500.
Just spend the whole day out there everyday so you don't miss anything. It's awl guud!
