TIMERS
National Championship Air Races Timing Team
The blowing dust glowing during sunset is a common sight at Stead when all the volunteers out in the field come back to roost at the end of the long day.
WELCOME TO THE TIMING TEAM
The Timer's have always played an integral and important role in the air races, providing accurate speeds and times for each aircraft entered. We are a small fraction of the total numer of volunteers that help make the races possible.
THE TIMING BOOTH PROVIDES A BIRDS EYE VIEW
Placed at center field on top of the grand stands, the timing booth is protected from the elements and offers one of the best seats in the house.
IT'S NOT ALL WORK
In between a set of races, airshow entertainment provides a nice break for the audience and the timers. Above photo is the Unlimited Gold duck walk parade before engines start.
