Reno 2000: The Week in Pictures
Another detailed planform shot of Voodoo rounding Outer Pylon Eight to enter the straightaway at Reno-Stead. Matt Jackson raced cautiously this year, only to encounter the misfortune of jumping the start of Sunday's Gold race—something that could have happened to anyone.

Watching the "Cat and Mouse" game being played out between Skip Holm in Dago Red and Jackson in Voodoo definitely made the Unlimited events more enticing, because you could just sense that Jackson was waiting for the right moment and time to pounce.

Thus, the suspense builds for R2001, because not only are these pilots going to face each other again in the skies over Stead; they're likely going to face off with Critical Mass, Strega, Czech Mate, Dreadnought, and possibly even "Rare Bear," for one of the grandest shootouts ever seen on the Nevada Desert.

One is left to wonder what the strategies of so many top contenders will be when "war" breaks out amongst these titans...
