The National Championship Air Races and Air Show feature several classes of up to laps aircraft racing together for up to eight laps around a closed course demarcated by specially marked poles [pylons] at speeds exceeding 500 mph. The Reno Air Racing Association sponsors the Pylon Racing Seminar as a unique and productive opportunity for race pilots to prepare, practice, and become certified to race in the National Championship Air Races.
The Pylon Racing Seminar is held at Nevada's Reno Stead Field during the month of June.
