Therefore, it is a good idea to avoid planning your visit to the Air Races too precisely around the scheduled time of any specific event.

In general, activities begin around 8 AM each day with Biplane and Formula One Class races, with the other racing events following later in the day. Unlimited Class races usually occur during the afternoon. The last event of the day usually ends around 4:30 PM.

Between races, there is always something in the air to enjoy, whether it be a military or civil aircraft flight demonstration, an aerobatic performance, or a fly-by. And you can catch a good view of the action from just about anywhere in the General Admission grandstands, the Reserved grandstands, the static display areas, and the pits. So we encourage you to explore everything that the Reno National Championship Air Races and Air Show has to offer.

The event schedules for 2009 are not expected to be available until August 2009. Please check back later.
