RARA have been looking for an alternate site; one possibility is a proposed "Spaceport" to be built SW of Las Vegas, though I don't think any ground has been broken in starting the build there! The owners are keen to host the races.
Shame Reno will be no more. Glad I got to visit in 98. Always planned another trip but the distance from the UK was prohibitive. I guess the hey days of CAF, Reno and American airshows (as everywhere) have passed.
