Air Racing Pit Life

Part of the Air Racing Life is what goes on behind the scenes.  The Pits.  As with conventional motorsports, the pits are a happening place.  In Reno, the pit area is segregated by class.  Some areas have more activity than others.  The Jet class doesn't have much going on, other than sitting in the sun and looking good.  The T-6 and STOL classes always have something going on.  The tweeking never stops.

Pit Life - Big Red

Pit Life - Polishing the Prop

Pit Life - Banging Away

And for a bit of fun, I saw this in the STOL area.  In researching the STOLs, I saw the belt in another venue with a different aircraft.  Could it be the best gets passed around?  More research is required.

Pit Life - The Belt

Walking around the Pits is a big part of going to the races for me.  Looking forward to next year already.
