Wanna Race?

National Air Race Entries Now Available

Pat Keefer, President, U.S. Air Race, Inc. has asked ANN to help spread the word about the 2004 National Air Races.

"Honor the Past. Invest in the Future" is the theme for the U.S. Air Race, Inc. celebration of the sparkling 75th Diamond Anniversary of the 1929 National Air Races. 

Events are run over a weeklong period. Two cross-country air races are typically held at locations that foster touring and many special events and activities surround the competitions. Teams are welcome to compete as racers or fly along at cruise power settings.

The teams in the exciting cross-country Marion Jayne Air Race will fly from California to Cleveland and 300-mile air races are also planned. Participants will have the opportunity to fly in honor of a 1929 racer and/or dedicate an aviation youth scholarship at one of the route stops.

As in 2003, teams may compete in cruise, speed and collegiate divisions. Custom divisions are possible for five or more teams.

These fabulous flying events will be held from August 28 to September 6, 2004 with awards given at the Cleveland National Air Show.

The U.S. Air Race, Inc. -- a charitable enterprise dedicated to the sport of cross country flying and provides scholarships to young people interested in aviation -- was founded by famed race pilot Marion Jayne. She is the only U.S. pilot to have raced twice around the world. She placed second in the 1992 race and won the FAI Gold Medal in 1994.
