              Stega 499.17 set in 2011
              Dago has the fastest race or race lap (the RARA site dosnt say which) at 507 set in 2003.

              Rare Bear dosnt appear to have any records for speed at reno.

                Didn't Strega have a 511 lap during the Saturday race in 2009?

                  Yep, that Viper L-29 is by far the fastest blow dryer to ever race at reno.

                    To me, the jets don't count. I'd love to see them go away for good. Nothing against any of the pilots or owners mind you, I just think it's a bad idea to be racing them there.

                        The only problem I have with the jets is lack of noise. When I see them flying I want to feel them as much as see them. The unlimiteds do that for me. I would also like to see them pitted with the rest of the planes, not stashed away in the hinterlands. Some of the paint jobs on the jets are 1000% bitchen. Unless you know where they are people will never see
                        them.

                          It is!!! but its a fun topic! Gives the people a chance to show their passion for the planes they love the most. Once PRS gets here there will be more stuff to talk about I am sure, till then not to much about air racing going on.

                            Mr. Laidlaw ran a race at Mojave in a Sabre 6 at 636 mph. 15 mile lap, G suits, three up, second was Leroy Penhall, third was Gary Levitz.

                            T-33's flown by the same pilots were in the mid 500's, but don't remember because, why bother, they were trainers.

                              Is that the race where several of the T-33 came back with bent structures, inspection covers blown off etc? I remember that happening somewhere but can't remember which event.
