Now that is cool. Another reason to drive there. That's a nice area, I go there every May for the Silver State Classic.

Sounds Great............only trouble is, Ely is a little bit off the bitten path, so to speak. Driving near Fallon once, I noticed a huge dry lake bed ( I think near sand mt) thought to myself what a great place for an air race, could land any direction in the event of an emergency, no residential or commercial develop for miles, still close enough to Reno that people could drive there from lodging or could stay in Fallon. Was just a thought that went through my mind.
Sounds like it could be a fun event!
Ely is a small town and they welcome special events.
For the Silver State Classic the local cat house hosts a party/bbq on Thursday night.

I hope the Stardust Ranch has a Day Care Center otherwise the races will probably not allow minors to attend![]()

I always thought one air race a year was not enough.I know there are stiff safety rules,but why has RARA not tried to expand it's venues?seems there is plenty of desert area in Az and Ca to race?maybe las vegas?
Maybe becasue they are already struggling with just ONE?but why has RARA not tried to expand it's venues?
