We caught these interesting green dots on a course map for the Roswell air races. They’re well outside the already 10+-mile Unlimited/Sport course—something like 14 miles per lap. Now that looks like some he-man sport!
Turns out they mark a concept floating around for a 600 mph course—meant for jets that are “more capable” than the L-39 trainers making up the current crop of Jet A burners.
We fondly remember the first demonstration jet race at Reno ages ago. Held late in the day so you could see the afterburner plumes emanating from the F-86s and MiG-15s, it was one of the wildest free-for-alls we’ve ever seen around pylons.
Bring it on!
