I was at the race and watched the T-Birds land about 10 minutes after 
the second fly over.  The only frequency I could remember was 141.85, so 
I put it in my scanner and no joy on any comms from them.
Also no visible CAP and I had Nellis tower in the scanner also and no 
comms from a CAP that I got.  If there was one I don't think it came 
from Nellis as I flew in to the race by Helo, was at the track about 9 
AM & nothing took off from Nellis except a G-V type (C-20?), C-17 & a 
C-130 that I saw.
Greg (SF Bay Area) in Las Vegas for the race.
