Key Takeaways:
The 2025 National Championship Air Races (NCAR) will be held in Roswell, New Mexico, from September 10-14, marking the first time the event has moved from Reno, Nevada, since 1964.
The relocation was prompted by safety concerns in Reno due to urban encroachment and past fatal accidents, offering organizers an opportunity to expand the event experience for attendees and pilots.
The Roswell event promises the same competitive flying across seven classes, along with new features like increased camping options, vendors, exhibits, historic aircraft displays, military demonstrations, and STEM educational activities.
