The RNJ.com reported Reno Air Racing Association President and CEO Mike
Houghton announced Thursday afternoon that the association is “only a hair

“I’m very pleased to say ... that it’s probably going to be a very early

The association’s “aggressive” goal was to raise $500,000 by Dec. 15 to pay off operational costs for 2014, Houghton said. So far, the Reno Air Races amassed $450,000, Houghton said. But the association is still pushing to meet the full $500,000 by Sunday, a deadline set in November.
“The air races are moving full speed ahead,” Houghton said. “And I can tell you with a smile on my face that it’s an absolutely delightful day for all of us.” Read full article at: RJN.com
