The National Championship Air Races are in Reno, in September, at Stead Airport. The races first appeared in Reno after being relocated from Cleveland in 1964. Charles Maddox, a local businessman, believed that such an event would draw thousands of visitors to Reno, and he was right. Each year, thousands of spectators participate in the Reno National Championship Air Races, which is considered to be the longest running air race in the world. Stead Airport is located ten miles north of Reno, and each year it attracts ace pilots and is home to thrilling stunt-flying and awesome vintage-era and contemporary flying machines and demonstrations.  Pilots qualify in four race classes: Unlimited, AT-6, Formula-One and Biplane.
