The After-Race

0

Reno Racing ends every day about 4:30 or 5:00 pm, but that doesn’t mean that everyone (or anyone) goes home! Teams have pop-ups and coolers full of refreshments, and as they say – the party is just getting started. It’s a relaxing time to be in the pits – the pressure is off, the engines are quiet (except for those who might have experienced problems during the day), and its time to kick back, relax, and trade aviation stories.

If you find yourself in the pits, don’t leave as soon as the racing is over – wander around and make new friends!
