ROSWELL, N.M. —

National Championship Air Races and events scheduled for Saturday have been postponed because of thunderstorms and heavy rain, organizers announced.

The decision was made for the safety of pilots, the ability of emergency services to perform their duties and the comfort of spectators.

As many of the races as possible scheduled for Saturday will be held Sunday, and all Saturday wristband and ticket purchases will be honored for Sunday, Sept. 14. People with reserved seats will be reassigned as needed, and new ticket confirmations will be emailed to them.

Updates and information are available online at airrace.org/attending-the-races/air-races-planning-schedule/.
