Random Shot Of The Day - Part 2

[Desertdawg]

Things were out of control all over the back of the course. This was Lefty on the way to his Championship. Photo from a much older Pylon 2.

Dangerous...

Neal,

Good thing RARA/Washoe County secured the land and fenced the course off.

Thanks for taking shots like that and sharing them.

What a time, I bet the 3 boys on the roof of the suburban have good memories and tell stories of being there.

Check out the lookieloos at the old Pylon 6. That situation got really dangerous, and impossible for the pylon judges. Eventually RARA and the airport got control over that land, put up fences, and got things under control. It was nice out there for a few years, before the general public found out about it.

Great look, Neal.

Good catch with the two people on the right foreground holding their ears.

No doubt the folks on top of the Jimmy are FAA, right?

2018 - Sport Class Pits

Beautiful planes

So sleek and still they find minor adjustments here and there to gain better airflow.

Strega, Voodoo and the Bearcat, the last really fast air racers and they're not going to race. Who would've thought it would end like this?

2018 - And another sport plane pit shot.

On a side note, there're pits were the first (westerly wind) tumble weed trapper. :-)

Do you believe it's ending, or are you referring only to the level of competition in the UNL class?
