I get to fly into Reno fairly often with my job and every time we talk about how awesome it would be to have that opportunity. I would really enjoy just meeting the pilots to learn how that got to the point that they could race the airplanes. I would equally enjoy talking to the owners of the planes and learn how they make it to that point as well. What a great life! Thanks for the nice, educational post! Jeffrey I never knew that.

Second, even if a pilot is certified to race in a given class of aircraft, if he or she decided to race in a different class of aircraft they must go through the course again in that new aircraft class. An example would be a pilot who is certified to race in the Biplane Class and decides to race a Sport Class aircraft.
