Winner of the Gold Race, Unlimited category, 2007. 232 September Fury, Winner of the Gold Race, Unlimited category, 2006. P-51D Mustang Dago RedThe Reno Air Races, also known as the National Championship Air Races, take place each September at the Reno Stead Airport a few miles north of Reno, Nevada, USA. Air racing is billed as 'the world's fastest motor sport' and Reno is one of the few remaining venues. Begun in 1964, the Reno Air Races feature multi-lap, multi-aircraft races between extremely high performance aircraft on closed ovoid courses which range between about 3 miles (Biplanes and Formula One) and about 8 miles (Jet, Unlimited) in length per lap. Aircraft in the Unlimited class, which consists almost entirely of both modified and stock World War II fighters, routinely reach speeds in excess of 400 miles per hour. In 2003, Skip Holm piloted Terry Bland's modified P-51D Mustang, Dago Red, and reached an all-time speed record of 507.105 mph in a six-lap race around the eight-and-a-half mile course. The recently added Sport Class racers, mostly homebuilt aircraft, are already reaching speeds in excess of 350 mph. The Reno Air Races include several days of qualifying followed by four and a half days of multi-aircraft heat racing culminating in the Unlimited Class Gold Race on Sunday afternoon. The event also features civil airshow acts and military flight demonstrations between races, plus vendor areas and a large civil and military static aircraft display.
Deaths Over the course of the sport's 44-year history, there have been a total of 18 deaths due to crashes and collisions in the course of competition and airshow. In 2007 alone, three pilots died over the course of four days in separate incidents (Gary Hubler, Steve Dari, & Brad Morehouse),[1] prompting the temporary suspension of the event.[2] Races were resumed on Saturday after various safety meetings.[3]

The Reno Pacific Coast League Team is a minor league baseball franchise based in Reno, Nevada, in the United States. The team is a member of the Pacific Coast League and are the Triple-A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks Major League Baseball club. The franchise are owned by SK Baseball, LLC and will begin play at their new home ballpark, Sierra Nevada Stadium in Reno, Nevada in the spring of 2009. They will be a part of the Pacific Conference's South Division along with the Fresno Grizzlies, Las Vegas 51s (name to change) and Sacramento River Cats. They were originally reported to be called the "Reno Sidewinders", however that information was deemed inaccurate. The new team name and logo will be announced on September 23, 2008. [1]

History
Team origins The team was originally known as the Tucson Sidewinders from 1998 to 2008. Before that, the team was first known as the Tucson Toros. They were Tucson's Triple-A baseball club, playing at Hi Corbett Field in midtown Tucson from 1969 to 1997. Part of the old 10-team configuration of the Pacific Coast League, the Toros won the PCL Championship in 1991 and 1993. The Toros were preceded by a number of other Tucson teams between 1915 and 1958, such as the Tucson Cowboys and the Tucson Lizards. After the MLB expansion that added the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix and Tampa Bay Devil Rays, the Toros moved to Fresno, California as the Fresno Grizzlies. The Phoenix Firebirds relocated to Tucson, briefly became the Tucson Toros (1997), and then became the Sidewinders (1998), the Triple-A affiliate of the new Diamondbacks. This was accomplished by what amounted to a "swap" in ownership in 1997, with Firebirds owner Martin Stone purchasing the Toros and Toros owner Rick Holtzman receiving interest in the Firebirds. The Tucson team retained management and staff primarily from the Toros, and traces its history from the Toros rather than the Firebirds.[2] The Phoenix Firebirds had played from 1958 through 1997 as an affiliate of the San Francisco Giants. The franchise joined the Pacific Coast League as a charter member in 1903 as the San Francisco Seals, relocating to Phoenix when the major league New York Giants moved to San Francisco. Seals alumni include Joe DiMaggio. The Tucson Toros had been affiliated with the Chicago White Sox (1969-1972), the Oakland Athletics (1973-1976), the Texas Rangers (1977-1979), the Houston Astros (1980-1996), and the Milwaukee Brewers (1997 only, with one Diamondbacks prospect, Travis Lee, playing with them by special arrangement).[2] At the time of the change in venue and affiliations (1998), a new Tucson team name, the "Sidewinders" was chosen after a name the team contest was held. The Toros have since become a member of the independent Golden Baseball League, adopting their previous Triple-A history from 1969 to 1997.
A new era in Reno In late 2006, it was formally announced that the Tucson Sidewinders, the Toros' successor, would be moving to Reno, Nevada after the 2008 season. The team would have a new stadium built to accommodate them called Sierra Nevada Stadium. They will remain a Triple-A affiliate of the Diamondbacks as they prepare for their new move to Reno. The move would essentially force out another professional team that played in Reno since 2006, the Reno Silver Sox of the independent Golden Baseball League. [3] Reports are that, despite being a D'backs farm team, the franchise will drop the name "Sidewinders" in place of a new identity. Some fans are suggesting that the team should adopt or purchase the rights to the Silver Sox name from the GBL for the new PCL club, but that was ruled out as that team is likely to relocate to Carson City, Nevada. [4] [5] The Reno PCL team will introduce their new team name and logo at a press conference on September 23, 2008. [6]

The Reno Silver Sox are a professional baseball team based in Reno, Nevada, in the United States. The Silver Sox are a member of the North Division of the independent Golden Baseball League, which is not affiliated with either Major League Baseball or Minor League Baseball. From the 2005 season to the present, the Silver Sox have played their home games at William Peccole Park, on the campus of the University of Nevada, Reno.
The Silver Sox could be forced to move because of the Pacific Coast League's new Triple-A team's official move to Reno. They are said to likely relocate to Carson City, Nevada, essentially keeping the team within the state and the immediate area (Carson being only about an hour's drive away from Reno, even closer once Interstate 580 is completed). An official announcement could be made as early as October 1, 2008, regarding the team's future.

History of the Silver Sox name
Sunset League/Far West League (1948-1951) Before they became a part of the GBL, the Silver Sox actually began their legacy as a member of the class-C Sunset League in 1947. They won the league championship in 1948.[1] The team would move to the Far West League in 1950 and would play there until 1951.
California League (1955-1992) The second incarnation were a member of the single-A California League in 1947 starting as the Ventura Yankees and remained so until 1949. They changed their names several times starting with the Ventura Braves in 1950-52, the Ventura Oilers in 1953, the Channel Cities Oilers in 1954-55, then moved to Reno during 1955 season becoming the Reno Oilers in 1955 and finally became the Reno Silver Sox during that 1955 season. The team won the CL Championship on four different occasions before folding in the 1970s. They won the league championship on four separate occasions (1960, 1961, 1975, 1976) and were listed #55 among MinorLeagueBaseball.com's 100 Best Minor League Baseball Teams.[2] They were a class-C (equivalent to today's single-A) affiliate of the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers.[1] The third version was another California League team that was an affiliate of the San Diego Padres from 1977 to 1987, then was unaffiliated from 1988 to their final season in 1992. They joined the league as the "new" Silver Sox then changed their name to the Reno Padres in 1982, then back to the Silver Sox when they were dropped as Padres affiliate in 1988. The team made the playoffs on two seperate occasions, losing the CL Championship series in 1987.
Golden Baseball League franchise history
Beginning The fourth, and current, Silver Sox franchise started as the Mesa Miners in 2005. They played their home games at HoHoKam Park in Mesa, Arizona. They were one of the original eight GBL charter teams along with the Chico Outlaws, Fullerton Flyers, Long Beach Armada and San Diego Surf Dawgs in California; Surprise Fightin' Falcons and Yuma Scorpions in Arizona and the traveling Japan Samurai Bears that began play in May of 2005. In their only year of play in Mesa, the team won the first ever GBL Arizona Division title and played in the Championship Game against the Surf Dawgs. Unfortunately, the Miners had the league's worst overall attendance, (which is somewhat dubious because of the highly inflated attendance numbers that the Surprise Fightin' Falcons allegedly received) and was dropped from the Golden Baseball League in November 2005. The league dropped Surprise largely due to not having another team in central Arizona and to give the league an even number of six teams instead of seven. The low attendance numbers both teams received were due largely to the fact that many of their home games were played in the scorching afternoon heat of central Arizona. The GBL has said publicly that they would reconsider the Arizona market (Mesa and Surprise) if the league, the city of Mesa and the concessionaire at HoHoKam Park could agree on a revenue sharing agreement for concessions sales. In 2005 the Miners received none of the sales proceeds from their own games. The Miners were the only team in the league without revenue sharing on concessions. The Miners roster and coaching staff were carried over to the league's new Reno Silver Sox team in 2006. The Silver Sox opened their inaugural campaign in Reno by winning the 2006 GBL Championship defeating the Fullerton Flyers 3-1 in the championship series. Les Lancaster was named the GBL Manager of the Year for the 2006 season.[3] After a disasterous 2007 season, Lancester left the team and would be replaced by former San Francisco Giants star Jeffrey Leonard in 2008. They finished the season with an even more disappointing 30-58 record under Leonard.
The Carson City Silver Sox? With the (at the time) impending arrival of the now-former Tucson Sidewinders from the triple-A Pacific Coast League to Reno in 2009, the Silver Sox were originally thought to be absorbed into the new Tucson Toros franchise for the 2009 season. But there is now word that the GBL-owned team could possibly relocate to Carson City, Nevada. The Silver Sox team name was ruled out of possible names for the new PCL franchise because the GBL owns the rights to the name, logos and uniforms and the league was not contacted about any interest by the new team of purchasing those rights. [4] [5] [6] Local newspapers have been following the developing story and they have stated that GBL Commissioner Kevin Outcalt has been in contact with an investment group in Carson City to try and get the Silver Sox relocated, but the likelihood of that is up in the air. An official announcement is expected as early as October, but could be pushed back until December or January. [7] [8] If they were to relocate, one of the places that they could play is at the Western Nevada College field.

Reno Silver Sox (minor league team) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search The Reno Silver Sox were a minor league baseball team that existed on and off from 1947 to 1992. Currently, there is a baseball team known as the Reno Silver Sox currently playing in the Golden Baseball League.
From of the 1955 season to 1992, they played their home games at Moana Stadium.
The team first played in the Sunset League from 1947 to 1949. They were affiliated with the New York Giants during their time in the Sunset League. From 1950 to 1951, they were unaffiliated and played in the Far West League. Starting in 1955, they played in the California League, when the Channel Cities Oilers moved to Reno to become the second incarnation of the Reno Silver Sox. They became affiliated with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1956 and stayed affiliated with them until the Dodgers' move in 1957. They were then affiliated with the Los Angeles Dodgers until 1962. From 1963 to 1964, they were affiliated with the Pittsburgh Pirates. They did not organize in 1965, and therefore did not play ball. They came back in 1966 and lasted until 1981. From 1966 to 1974, they were affiliated with the Cleveland Indians. From 1975 to 1976 they were affiliated with both the Minnesota Twins and San Diego Padres. From 1977 to 1981, they were affiliated with just the Padres. After the 1981 season, the team was renamed the Reno Padres and baseball was not played under the "Reno Silver Sox" name again until 1988. Still in the California League, they were unaffiliated from 1988 to 1991. In 1992 - the last season in which a "Silver Sox" team played in an affiliated league - they were affiliated with the Oakland Athletics. Following the 1992 season, the team left Reno and move to Riverside to become the Riverside Pilots. In 1996, they moved to Lancaster and became the Lancaster JetHawks.
The independent league team is the most recent incarnation of the team, beginning play in 2006.
Championships The Reno Silver Sox were league champions in 1948, 1960, 1961, 1975 and 1976. They are the only team in California League history to win back-to-back championships twice. [1]

The Great Reno Balloon Race From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search The Great Reno Balloon Race is a hot-air balloon race held each September in Reno, Nevada. The event is held at the Rancho San Rafael Park, just west of the University of Nevada, Reno. The event is free to the public, and completed its 24th year in 2005. Part of the mission statement of the race is to celebrate the joy of flight.
The Coordination of the race is handled by two bodies: The Great Reno Balloon Race is staffed by paid workers to handle the operations of the event. The volunteer group, or Aeronauts, consists of about 100 people providing help in many areas of the race including field set-up, pilot crewing and up keep of the grounds. They also assist everyone involved in the race from the organizers and pilots to the sponsors and spectators. The volunteer group meets monthly and works in shifts during the actual event.

The Great Reno Balloon Race The Great Reno Balloon Race, the largest free hot air ballooning event in the country, is held the first weekend after Labor day each September at Rancho San Rafael Regional Park in Reno, Nevada. The GRBR draws in a crowd of 140,000 on average each year, making it the largest free event in Northern Nevada. It is also the largest free ballooning event in the United States. The mission of The Great Reno Balloon Race is to provide a premier, safe, family-oriented, tourist-attractive, visually dramatic event that celebrates the joy of flight while remaining free. This mission has withheld the strains of time and a shifting economy yet remains free and larger than ever today.
History The first Balloon Race was in 1982, when a mere 20 balloons graced the crisp Nevadan sky. Today, upwards of 100 balloons participate each year. An event that was first started to create a tourist attraction between the Nevada State Fair and the Reno Air Races has become the icon of the community. Bringing people from all over together who share a love for family, community and ballooning, The Great Reno Balloon Race has become a beloved tradition which is embraced by locals and tourists alike. One of the most spectacular shows over the three day event is the Great Reno Balloon Race is Dawn Patrol. A term patented by the board of trustees when Federal Aviation officials approved predawn flying regulations in 1978. Safety precautions such as special navigation lights became the status quo and The Great Reno Balloon Race quickly became a national role model for pre-dawn events in 1990 when it began launching balloons before sunrise. During Dawn Patrol, pilots face unstable, pre-dawn, air conditions as their balloons illuminate the early morning darkness. Adding warmth to the cool morning, Dawn Patrol marks the beginning of the Balloon Race. After eight years of the Dawn Patrol, yet another attraction was added to trill onlookers as they waited for the show to begin. Just before Dawn Patrol, pilots light their lanterns for the Glow Show. The balloons take on an almost fictional appearance, not unlike a paper lantern which marks the beginning of the Balloon Race.
Competition and Results The Hare and Hound Competition The three day event begins with the Hare and Hound Competition, a ballooning event in which two balloons act as the “hares” while the 100 or so other balloons follow the leaders as the “hounds.” Modeled after the traditional English sport of freeing a rabbit, giving it a head-start, then releasing a pack of canines to hunt it down, the ballooning competition is less dire for the hare. The E.L. Cord Tissue Paper Hot Air Balloon Launch The Great Reno Balloon Race Tissue Paper Balloon Launch, a Washoe County School District and Balloon Race tradition since 1999, is a sight to see. On Thursday and Friday of the Balloon Race, over 1000 students release their colorful, hand-made, model hot air balloons off Bunsen burners. Balloon Blackjack Another popular event at The Great Reno Balloon Races is Balloon Blackjack. This event, implemented at the Balloon Race in 1999, gives the pilots a taste of the Reno gaming experience in an airborne blackjack tournament. The pilots compete for prizes such as complimentary weekends and meals at many of the area’s best casinos. The World’s Largest Pajama Party-Pajama Fest The Balloon Race’s newest event and one of its most notable is The World’s Largest Pajama Party. Pajama Fest invites the entire community to participate by attending The Great Reno Balloon Race in pajamas. As well as wearing pajamas, participants are encouraged to show off their best ‘bed-head’ during the Bed Head competition. Rolling out of bed is hardly a bad thing at the World’s Largest Pajama Party where spectators of all ages are encouraged to leave their PJs on for what is quite possibly the coziest party of the year.
Volunteers Each year The Great Reno Balloon Race volunteers, or Aeronauts, come together to help make the event possible. The Aeronauts help with many areas of the race, from field set-up and break-down to pilot crewing. With tasks that begin before sun-up, these hard working volunteers are the glue that holds the races together.

After eight years of the Dawn Patrol, yet another attraction was added to trill onlookers as they waited for the show to begin. Just before Dawn Patrol, pilots light their lanterns for the Glow Show. The balloons take on an almost fictional appearance, not unlike a paper lantern which marks the beginning of the Balloon Race.
Competition and Results
The Hare and Hound Competition The three day event begins with the Hare and Hound Competition, a ballooning event in which two balloons act as the “hares” while the 100 or so other balloons follow the leaders as the “hounds.” Modeled after the traditional English sport of freeing a rabbit, giving it a head-start, then releasing a pack of canines to hunt it down, the ballooning competition is less dire for the hare. The E.L. Cord Tissue Paper Hot Air Balloon Launch The Great Reno Balloon Race Tissue Paper Balloon Launch, a Washoe County School District and Balloon Race tradition since 1999, is a sight to see. On Thursday and Friday of the Balloon Race, over 1000 students release their colorful, hand-made, model hot air balloons off Bunsen burners. Balloon Blackjack Another popular event at The Great Reno Balloon Races is Balloon Blackjack. This event, implemented at the Balloon Race in 1999, gives the pilots a taste of the Reno gaming experience in an airborne blackjack tournament. The pilots compete for prizes such as complimentary weekends and meals at many of the area’s best casinos. The World’s Largest Pajama Party-Pajama Fest The Balloon Race’s newest event and one of its most notable is The World’s Largest Pajama Party. Pajama Fest invites the entire community to participate by attending The Great Reno Balloon Race in pajamas. As well as wearing pajamas, participants are encouraged to show off their best ‘bed-head’ during the Bed Head competition. Rolling out of bed is hardly a bad thing at the World’s Largest Pajama Party where spectators of all ages are encouraged to leave their PJs on for what is quite possibly the coziest party of the year.
Volunteers
Each year The Great Reno Balloon Race volunteers, or Aeronauts, come together to help make the event possible. The Aeronauts help with many areas of the race, from field set-up and break-down to pilot crewing. With tasks that begin before sun-up, these hard working volunteers are the glue that holds the races together.
The Great Reno Balloon Race From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search The Great Reno Balloon Race is a hot-air balloon race held each September in Reno, Nevada. The event is held at the Rancho San Rafael Park, just west of the University of Nevada, Reno. The event is free to the public, and completed its 24th year in 2005. Part of the mission statement of the race is to celebrate the joy of flight.
The Coordination of the race is handled by two bodies:
The Great Reno Balloon Race is staffed by paid workers to handle the operations of the event.
The volunteer group, or Aeronauts, consists of about 100 people providing help in many areas of the race including field set-up, pilot crewing and up keep of the grounds. They also assist everyone involved in the race from the organizers and pilots to the sponsors and spectators. The volunteer group meets monthly and works in shifts during the actual event.

The Great Reno Balloon Race
The Great Reno Balloon Race, the largest free hot air ballooning event in the country, is held the first weekend after Labor day each September at Rancho San Rafael Regional Park in Reno, Nevada. The GRBR draws in a crowd of 140,000 on average each year, making it the largest free event in Northern Nevada. It is also the largest free ballooning event in the United States. The mission of The Great Reno Balloon Race is to provide a premier, safe, family-oriented, tourist-attractive, visually dramatic event that celebrates the joy of flight while remaining free. This mission has withheld the strains of time and a shifting economy yet remains free and larger than ever today.
History The first Balloon Race was in 1982, when a mere 20 balloons graced the crisp Nevadan sky. Today, upwards of 100 balloons participate each year. An event that was first started to create a tourist attraction between the Nevada State Fair and the Reno Air Races has become the icon of the community. Bringing people from all over together who share a love for family, community and ballooning, The Great Reno Balloon Race has become a beloved tradition which is embraced by locals and tourists alike. One of the most spectacular shows over the three day event is the Great Reno Balloon Race is Dawn Patrol. A term patented by the board of trustees when Federal Aviation officials approved predawn flying regulations in 1978. Safety precautions such as special navigation lights became the status quo and The Great Reno Balloon Race quickly became a national role model for pre-dawn events in 1990 when it began launching balloons before sunrise. During Dawn Patrol, pilots face unstable, pre-dawn, air conditions as their balloons illuminate the early morning darkness. Adding warmth to the cool morning, Dawn Patrol marks the beginning of the Balloon Race. After eight years of the Dawn Patrol, yet another attraction was added to trill onlookers as they waited for the show to begin. Just before Dawn Patrol, pilots light their lanterns for the Glow Show.
