Even as a die hard race fan, I've already come to terms with the cancellation of this year's races because it creates the pathway for so much more to happen in 2021.
First off, Thunderbirds are BACK!!! This will ALWAYS be a positive for the races. I enjoyed their show immensely last year.
The Unlimited Class might actually enjoy this year off, with a really good return slated for next year. Like what?
Miss America has some more mods planned, that may not have happened this year. Plus having to get a new race engine, etc. The team now has over a year to get Miss A ready to go for a kick at the crown, and they want to!
We will finally get to see how Sawbones performs with the new prop, and the lower profile canopy. Been too long since I've heard a 3350 turn the pylons!
Dusty will almost positively have Lylia finished, especially now that Reno is cancelled and there's some more downtime. It just makes more time for things to happen! And hopefully the Yak he was going to race this year will have her owner take her reigns at PRS 2021 and we will have a new pilot on the course!
Full Noise!! A whole year for Graeme to get FN ready for 2021. I was going to miss them this year and now we get to see them next year almost certainly.
Rare Bear? Or any of the Super Unlimiteds. Rumor was Bear would "more or less" be finished up at Breck sometime next year. That could really change things IF there is a Reno Return slated for Bear.
Race 64! I was very skeptical we were going to see Vicky in Race 64 this year with her torn apart, but it's looking very promising to have her in tip-top shape for 2021!
The Thibodeau Team! Hopefully we will finally get to see On Eagle's Wings take to the sticks in her new finish. Hoping to get some updates from J.P. soon.
Palm Springs Air Museum! There were plans to return this year, but I had a feeling it would've been a stretch. It'll be great to have them back next year.
Tsunami! Looking forward to seeing a fuselage at Reno in 2021. That will be a huge stepping stone that all of us will be able to drool over. Looks like they're progressing more and more every day.
And just some outliers; Will Whiteside in the Corsair? Maybe Dusty will have Shanty Irish present with Lylia. And then there's the Alan Preston rumor and his intent to race "something" in 2020. Hopefully that will come to fruition in 2021.
Then the Sport Class should have some new competition as well! Tom McNerney may finally be finished with his full-race Legacy. Brett Schuck will be in "Lucky Too" (with a new name). Some of the other Gold competitors have more time to mod and test with all eyes set on Reno 2021!
There's some new ideas and innovations coming through the pipeline for RARA as a whole as well. Can't say what they are just yet, but RARA is really looking at some ways to refresh the races with the downtime they have for the next year. I hope I'll be able to get some feedback on these ideas from AAFO to see what you all think!
