Reno Air Races Day 2009 - Monday September 14th - Day 1.


Calm day to day at the races, the first day of the qualifications to know who finally will compete in the races from Wednesday on. Picked up my credentials, looked for some old friends,walked around in the pits to see what is new,ask some of the competitors about their plans and expectations for the week-end. Noticed that the Unlimiteds set already some fast qualification times today, so hopefully we’ll have some good fast and safe races this week-end. Try to give you every day the best qualification times and results of the race heats of the six different race categories and the first pictures.

Afterwards did some shopping in the shopping’s nearby and for the rest relaxing in the hotel for the rest of the day.

Finally at Reno


After a long drive from San Francisco, and of course some stops at some Napa wineries as the Moet & Chandon Winery for instance, we arrived well in Reno. Tomorrow morning getting my press accreditations and I'm ready for it.


I'll try to keep you informed daily

Murphy strikes back


The very last days the back pain was resittable and with the medication there was no problem at all to be afraid of the meore than 24 Hrs flight to SFO.

But putting my camera gear in the overhead bins of the aircraft at Newark airport I suddenly felt such a pain flashing pain in my back that for the next hours I couldn't almost sit or walk around without very heavy pains. Now one day later I still feel the pain but think that won't change my plans to drive on Sunday further on to Reno.

So tomorrow some sight seeing in SFO and from Monday on "Let the races begin"
