Air Racing

The field of the National Championship Air Races is made up of seven thrilling airplane classes. Six of the classes race on a somewhat circular pylon course. “Each heat consists of up to eight planes in competition, flying between 50 and 250 feet in the air, with aircraft reaching speeds up to 500+ mph in flight. The seventh class – STOL Drag – competes in two-plane drag races up and down the ramp.
