- The 2017 Unlimited final is chalked up there as one of the best Unlimited Gold races in Reno history, Steve Hinton and Jay Consalvi battled for the lead the entire race while having to lap all the other planes in the process!! This was the final farewell race for team owner Bob Button and it definitely didn't disappoint, Bob has owned and raced Voodoo since 1994 and what a journey it's been, I've been lucky and very thankful to have been a crew member on the Voodoo team since 2009 and have made many new friends in the process. Thank you Bob and Christine Button!!

Reno Racing is dying... so is great to see a team like Voodoo breaking a record and keeping things alive for a while. I used to be a Bear fan, and I remember when Voodoo struggled... I thought they were just not serious, but over the years they kept at it, got better and better and finally they arrived, and now they are the fastest piston engined aircraft in the world. Impressive ! I'm so glad they changed the paintjob ( I'm old) I'm now a Voodo Fan, and I will build a flying model of the record airplane. Thanks for keeping us dreaming. All the best in 2018
There's not a better sound as those engines can make ... Love it!!!
This may have not been the ending you wanted but your cockpit cam caught the most poignant moment at the end when Steve shut it down and took a moment for himself. You kind of knew Voodoo’s racing days were done. Nice job, Voodoo 1650.
that’s music to old ears; beauty to old eyes. thanks for the share!
I long for the days when Voodoo, Strega, Rare Bear, Miss America, September Fury, and my favorite...Dago Red were all there
Was here in 2004... a great couple of days. Top notch planes and people, must return one day.
I was there tues-sun for those races. First time in my life. That race was beyond an exclamation point for my time up there. Was hoping to make 2018, but life got in the way. The videos I shot didn't hold a candle to that. Now I can show this to my friends and show them what they missed.👍
I've watched this far too many times now. The noise is addictive
I love this video, and all of your videos. Sadly, I feel that this is the last fast Unlimited race that we'll ever see at Reno. Been a good run.
Great race indeed!! Both Voodoo and Strega performed amazingly!!!!
I could keep listening to that sound all day long!! Superb!!
It's always a race between Voodoo and Strega. They are lapping everyone else. Those poor Sea Fury guys get passed by like they're in a different class race. Czech Mate, when it's there, usually could hang in for a 3rd place finish. Before Voodoo and Strega hit their stride, Rare Bear used to be odds on fav for every race. But once Voodoo and Strega dialed things in...it's been a two plane race ever since.
By far the most amazing race I’ve ever seen! Absolutely epic...
Awesome!! It will go down as one of the best finishes between two gladiators battling it out. Congratulations to both Strega & Voodoo!
Such low flying in steep turns! Amazing!
For sure an awesome race you could see Strega had the beans,but Voodoo with Steve flying was the tightest and lowest I've seen,it was very sweet! Congrats on being on their crew,I just retired as a licensed a&p,loved working on and being around aircraft! Thanks!!
Totally Beautiful plane's just amazing they look wow super flying you done an excellent job..Thank you so much
I truly enjoyed this race! Both Steve and Jay did a superior job in airmanship in flying the course tight and fast! The best race we've seen since the Friday heat between Strega and Voodoo in 2012!
I lived in Reno as a kid from 69 to 78. Went to Stead several times. Loved the “White Lightning” and Mustangs.
Thanks for posting well done by all.
