Reno Air Race

In this AOPA blog, Alton Marsh talks about the Reno Air Race that claimed the lives of 11 people; including 1 pilot and 7 spectators. In the update he says that something may have happened to the tail horizontal control surfaces and may have lead to the accident. There is a video avialable in the AOPA blog showing the aircraft in a nosedive and hitting the ground. The aircraft was like most sport type aircraft; heavily modified, which makes one think, when will the FAA start to limit modifactions for sport aircraft.
