the world's fastest motor sport

The Reno National Championship Air Races - the only place in the world where you can experience:

five days of REAL AIR RACING by six classes of aircraft,
close-up access to racing aircraft, pilots, and crews in the pits,
a world-class airshow,
a large static aircraft display, including the Heritage Trophy competition, and
great concessions and amenities.

Race aircraft in the Unlimited and Jet classes reach speeds of over 500 mph - by far the fastest-moving machines in motor sports!

The theme for 2010 is "The Next Generation", celebrating the rise of new competitors, new aircraft, and new speed records.

Air show performers for 2010 include the Canadian Forces "Snowbirds", Kent Pietsch, David Martin, Greg Poe, and more.

We hope you will start making plans now to attend the most unique aviation and motor sport event in the world - the National Championship Air Races & Air Show - now in its 47th year!

about the National Championship Air Races and Air Show

The National Championship Air Races ["NCAR"] and Air Show has been held just outside Reno, Nevada, every year since 1964. [On 9-11-2001, the 38th National Championship Air Races were suspended during the pre-race aircraft qualifying period.]

The event draws fans from all over the world, including a large local following, and brings millions of dollars to the regional economy each year.

The Reno Air Racing Association, which organizes the event, is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of authentic air racing.
