I was there on Saturday with Left Wing Down and another friend. Excellent time. Great machines and great flying.
I'll scan in some pictures and post at some point.
It certainly did get windy. An airplane (nothing to do with the Races) part-owned by a friend of mine allegedly jumped its chocks, hit another plane and incurred minor wing damage towards the middle of the afternoon on Sunday.
Tips for next year:
Do buy the pit pass
Do get there early and drive in your own car to the car parking near the field (the bus costs $8 each way from Reno!)
Do buy or rent a really long lens for your camera (>200mm), otherwise just don't bother taking pictures of anything flying.
Don't bother with the grandstand seating; you get a great view from the pits or the normal stands (although the grandstand is right by the finish post).
