What is the most important thing I need to know to fly the Air Race Classic?

It isn’t so much what you know, it is your willingness to learn more about being a safe, capable pilot that will maximize your Race experience. As long as you have a current FAA medical and recent BFR, you have the basic knowledge to become a racer.

The Air Race Classic Rules and Regulations spell out airplane and team requirements and responsibilities, required Race procedures, Race emergency management, timing and awards. While we don’t recommend memorizing the ARC Rules and Regulations, it is a great idea to read them carefully, several times, so you understand them.

If you enter the Race, you will be sent a user name and password to enter the "racer only" section of the website, where you can explore to gather additional information and check back for periodic up-dates.

Pre-race safety briefings held at the Start go a long way toward answering any other questions you may have. Attendance at these briefings is required, and covers such things as fuel planning, weather, flybys, emergencies and more.
