Anyone Going to the Reno Air races?

My dad has gone to every single one since they started this event. I've been to every one since i was born.
If you guys have any interest in racing, planes, crazy engines or high speeds, you have to come see it - its really an interesting event.

Anyone already planning on it?

I think they've been going on all week, but sunday is the big unlimited gold race - if anyone goes, you have to get a pit pass - its a bit more expensive, but you have any interest in this stuff at all, its a must see.

Here's a picture of precious metal, a highly modified P51 with learjet wings and counter-rotating propellers, the second shot is of a few mustangs pulling about 400mph around a corner pylon.

Are you guys going? I'd definitely go if I lived up there. I went about 8 years ago and it was fun, but sitting in the Reno sun all day is hot as hell
