The entire Rare Bear Team is saddened by the loss of Lyle Shelton. His 6-time Unlimited Class Gold Championships, Time to Climb and Speed Record are all proof of his passion for the sport and his determination to win. No one to date has surpassed his commitment to Air Racing. We will all be surrounded by his spirit at this year's Reno Air Races.
