The Reno Air Racing Association is planning a 2012 event to honor the people who died after a Sept. 16 crash at the Reno National Championship Air Races.
Association CEO Mike Houghton says he hopes to continue the 47-year competition or hold some other aviation event to give fans closure.
The Reno Gazette-Journal reports that permits needed to operate the association's annual pilots' safety school must be issued by February.
Houghton says those permits will be a good indication of whether permits will later be issued for the races.
The future of the races has been in doubt since a P-51 Mustang crashed and killed 10 spectators and the pilot, Jimmy Leeward.
Others were sent to the hospital with critical injuries.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash.
