If drunks died at the same rate as Reno air racers the highways would be covered with dead drunks and their victims.

I am intrigued, do you have a link to some stats on this claim, I would like to give the benefit of doubt on what sound like a wildly exaggerated claim.

Google the number of dead at Reno the last few years. I don't know the totals, but it's pretty bad.

My first google hit came up with 44 deaths in an 18 year history of Reno air racing.....Christ that's like a busload, can you imagine a busload of people dying every 18years.......carnage, I'm convinced, from now on it's road travel all the way for me.

Oops....I got the figures wrong, it was 18deaths in 44 years

What? We have a black president, and I'm sure our female and gay population would like it better in lets say the middle east...... where their just overflowing with equal rights. Name some countries with more dark skin, female and or gays in civil service or elected office. You are talking out of your ass and this is coming from a dark skin American.( Puetro Rican )

Hunden don't feed the troll, David Hayward isn't worth it.

44 in 18 years at Reno is approximately the equivalent of about 150 dying every year at air shows in the US. 150. Every year. How long do you think air shows would last with that sort of casualty rate?

We didn't have a black president when we imposed FREEDOM on Germany.

No read again, I got it wrong, it's 18 in 44 years, that's like 18 every 44 years by my calculations, 150 a year is something you just made up.
