USRA giant scale air racing is patterned after the Reno National Championship Air Races as a way to bring the excitement, sound, color and history of air racing up close to the public and the world of radio control enthusiasts.
The Race of Champions brings together the best of the best of RC pilots from around the globe. Since its inception, giant scale air racing has evolved steadily into a sport where speed and technology advancements know no bounds. Speeds reaching well in excess of 250 miles per hour make giant scale air racing one of the fastest motor sports in the world!
Held at the California City Airport, the Race of Champions is a test of skills and endurance as pilots keep their airplanes in the running over three days, building to the winner take all championship trophy races held on the final day. We ensured strong community involvement: Antelope Valley Audubon Society, California City, Boy Scout Troop 413 and the California City Community Club.
