low flyers Reno National championship air race edition
If a person has never attended the national championship air races,it should be on your bucket list..while they do the slow red bull pylon dodging at various places..this is where the fastest racing on the planet happens..imagine flying at apx 50 feet at 500+ mph in close proximity with 7 other aircraft...it's no wonder air race pilots have t shirts that say 'asphalt racing's for pu$$ies!'...Here's another video of the same pilot...VERY skilled and lucky...the airplane is a highly modded P-51 with a 3800 hp+ rolls royce griffon engine turning counter-rotating props..during this race Thom develops a fuel problem and the engine quits...MAJOR pucker factor!
