2021 IN REVIEW

With COVID once again grounding many aviation events, we were not able to hold the traditional Air Race this year. Instead, the inaugural ARC Air Derby took to the skies in June! With the efforts of many racers and pilots, we connected with over 200 women pilots, making up 90 teams, flying a wide variety of aircraft. Routes were planned in the Bahamas, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States. 17 colleges and universities sent teams to represent their schools. Long time racers and those who haven't had the opportunity to race with the ARC joined in to make this event a success!

Only with your help would this have been possible. With your financial assistance as well as the hundreds of hours spent by our volunteers, we can continue educating and encouraging not only the women pilots of all ages that join us, but also the general public at all of the airports that we visit. Would you consider making a year-end donation to help us continue our efforts? You may also choose to honor someone through a donation in their memory. We will send an acknowledgement to you and the family. Make a donation here: https://www.airraceclassic.org/forms/donations/

PICK A NUMBER, ANY NUMBER!

Our wildly popular Race Number reservation program is back for 2022. What's your lucky number? Any available number can be purchased for five years for a $500 donation to the ARC Endowment Fund or one year for $125. It's a great way to support the Air Race. Holding a specific race number reserves your position in the Start takeoff lineup. And it is fun to have a race number that is meaningful. Some Racers keep their race number decal on their plane year round. It's a great conversation starter at an airport and raises awareness of women's air racing with the public.

You can see which numbers are already reserved and apply today for your favorite number here https://www.airraceclassic.org/purchase-race-number.htm ! Don't delay; do it today!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

As we celebrate the holiday of giving thanks, the Air Race Classic would like to express our sincerest thanks to all of you who support the ARC through time and money. Our sponsors, our volunteers, our racers, all combine to help us continue the legacy started over 90 years ago with the first transcontinental air derby. While words may fall short, we hope we can convey how much we value your support. All the best wishes and hopes to you and your families in this upcoming holiday season.
