About Us
A Safe & Accessible Racing League
Air racing has historically been dominated by the National Air Races at Reno. While there have been numerous attempts to create a series of races across the country, many have been unsuccessful.
The Sport Air Racing League (SARL) provides a unique remedy that reduces passing and prevents head-to-head racing, creating an exciting racing league that is both safe and accessible to all pilots.

The Classes
The Sport Air Racing League strives to provide a safe and affordable outlet for the competitive instincts of all pilots, regardless of what airplane they fly.
We mix and match, and the result is that, whatever you fly, it should have little or no inherent advantage over other aircraft in the same category and class. While we haven’t taken it too far, we think we have created a fair system that pits pilot against pilot as much as machine against machine.
Experimental
For those looking to push the limits of homebound engineering.
Factory
Air racing featuring aircraft from popular and familiar manufacturers.
