The National Championship Air Races is a one-of-a-kind event with almost six decades of continuous history to its credit. It is the world's only multi-class, closed-course pylon racing event, and it boasts over 150 racers in seven race classes. The racers compete head to head around a closed course, 50 feet off the ground, wingtip to wingtip at speeds approaching 500 mph in the fastest classes. The event evokes an atmosphere of supercharged energy from its incredible speeds, intense competition, international flair, and storied pageantry. For one week, the Roswell area will become home to hundreds of aircraft, their pilots and crews, and tens of thousands of dedicated fans who come each year to cheer them to victory.
