Just wondering if anyone on here knows of any coverage of the races on TV other than just local news channels covering the races.

Remember 40 years ago when the races were on ABCs Wide World of Sports?

A few years ago, Speed Channel had the Unlimited Gold finals on. Haven't seen them since.

Cheers!

Oh Yeah!

That's when I got hooked on the racers.

Woot!

I remember in the early 90's, for several years when a national cable channel covered the Reno Air Races in great detail. I can't remember what station it was, but it was nationally televised. I haven't seen it since about '93 or '94, so I assume it got yanked off the air.

Here's one that goes WAAAAAAAY back! Does anybody remember the episode on the old show, "Thrillseekers" with Chuck Conners, when it showed either Bob Hoover, or the Reno Air Races? I can't remember which it was, but I remember watching it when I was a little kid in the early 70's.
