The Reno Air Races - A "Warbird" Fan Heaven

I call on Reno air race Warbird "paradise of the fans because I and many other fans, that's exactly what they are. The Reno air races are usually the second or third week of September and run for a total of five days. There are six classes of aircraft that race, but by far the most popular category is the "unlimited class. They call it" unlimited "because there are only two requirements of the planes arrived, but they must have a piston engine and must have an engine. Until these two conditions are met, so the driver can do to alter the plan is unlimited. Most drivers have discovered that a good starting point for a runner is a fighter Unlimited War II. That's where the word "Hawk" comes in a Warbird is really any kind of plane that was flown during the war, but for most people the term generally means a fighter or bomber World War II. Probably , the plane of World War II is the most popular Reno P - 51D. Over the years, highly modified examples of this type have become some of the fastest laps in Reno and have won many races. Just to show the degree modification, a P-51D population has some twelve hundred horses. A career full of P-51D has about 3000 HP! difference! The result and at speeds exceeding 500 miles per hour! Air Racing is really the sport more speed engine in the world! Over the years, there have been some homebuilt unlimited. There was a was the fact that aluminum has been used a P-51 engine and has come to resemble a highly modified P-51. Unfortunately, crashed and was destroyed before its potential has been realized, there was another unlimited homebuilt was made entirely of fiberglass and two engines from Nissan, but crashed and was destroyed even before they won the race. It is always interesting to see what changes the pilots in their quest to develop only a little more speed. "
