I don’t have very many flight hours. Should I wait until I have more hours to consider racing?

Waiting is up to you, of course, but if you have a private pilot license, you are qualified to be part of a Race team. Cross-country racing is a great way to build your experience. For safety reasons, Air Race Classic requires that one member of each team have either an instrument rating or 500 hours as pilot in command.
Our Mother Bird program helps you too. We match first-time Race teams with experienced teams who have volunteered to guide new teams through their first Race.
