    Sport class is probably half of that. 16 or so STOL drag guys. 6-8 jets, couple of T6, 5-6 F1s. A couple of unlimited guys that haven't raced recently. Thom and Dusty I think.

      Probably about right, I didn't know the STOL guys would be included.

          I'm not sure Dusty will be racing. Both the Yak and Mustang are in lots of pieces. He's too busy with work to get anything done on either one. I'd guess either Thom or Dusty could recertify in September since they have both raced in the past.

              I would think depending on Unlimited participation that Sanders will bring 924 for help with re-certs.

                Yes! Still waiting for the IF1 grudge match of the top 3 unlimited pilots against the top 3 IF1 pilots.

                  Little update for those not on Facebook keeping up, I'm not on site but this is what I've seen...

                  924 and Goldfinger are there representing the Unlimiteds. No idea who the rookies are yet. I know Thom is busy this weekend with the TP-40 in Reading so he won't be in attendance. Sherm is in EU with the C-47 so I assume Brian or Joel and Mike Brown are the checkout pilots.

                  Sport Class well represented as usual, a few Gold planes as well. Sean Van Hatten's new Super Glasair Race 3, One Moment, Sterling's Race 8 is there with a new prop after last years misfortune, Super Glasair Race 24, and Breathless!

                  I saw Miss Min in some pictures, Biplane 314 is a new red Pitts, I imagine a few Cassutts are present too

                  Jet class sees the return of the Vampire with Ultimate Aviation's black "Stealth" that raced in 2017. Now being raced by a very capable rookie Jive Kerby, race 11 named "Dark Shadow". Aside from that a few new L-39's on site, and Scott Farnsworth's new L-39GXT Super Albatros. 8 jets in total for them on the ramp.

                  STOL heavily represented! I think 14 of them are there, all of them were "forced" to put race numbers on looking good!

                  Unlimiteds were up this afternoon for some casual turns around the sticks.

                        Haha, after watching his starts and races last year, I have to wonder if there was outside pressure to make this happen. Sketchy was the word, and I think all parties involved would like to see less sketchy.

                              Pretty well written RGJ article on the STOL drags and certification at Reno yesterday.
