Reno Roller Derby

A picture from the roller derby in Reno on Saturday. The Battle Born Derby Demons won by a fairly slim margin which kept it exciting the whole time. Who knew Reno had it's own roller derby team? Who knew roller derby is something people are doing? Having never gone before it was a pretty good time. 10 dollars to get in wasn't a bad price. Tasha cookies (they all have funky names) seemed to be the biggest points earner for the team. There were definitely some hard falls and good hits, but no brawls or anything, they are a tough bunch of ladies though. We expected a pretty rowdy crowd, but for the most part it was a family event. The next bout is in July, and they practice Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday at the rink on the river. Check it out sometime.

Reno Air Races (Pylon Racing Seminar)

Check out the pic from the Stead airport. Saturday was a pylon racing seminar for the Reno Air Races. I've never been to the actual air races, but I know the line of cars trying to make there way to the Stead airport gets pretty long. This Saturday it was the show without the thousands of people around. Well there were no stunt planes either, but there were some jets and a few other planes. Maybe we'll go to the actual races this year.
