The two classes I watched were Sport, a modern kit-built prop plane capable of 350 mph, and the WWII T-6 which are big, old, noisy, and not particularly fast. While I’m at the RV I can kinda watch the other classes, and I’m thinking the jets will be a favorite simply because of the speeds involved (500+).
Close finishes are rare as these are weeding-out races, the fastest advance to the next heat. But I did get a taste of the fun when the last two planes in Sport “battled” it out for a photo-finish. First real racing I’ve seen.
Getting some rain drops now, which will likely not amount to anything.
