  • shoot out in super sport

    John Sharp is sitting this year out, but the other racers are working frantically to take the title of Fastest Super Sport. Kevin Eldridge in his NXT 'Relentless' is perhaps the favorite, flying behind a modified Lycoming and a new MT prop; but the Thunder Mustangs of veteran racer John Parker flying 'Blue Thunder' is quietly working for an upset: and racer George Giboney in 'Rapid Travel' is sporting a wicked looking prop and an elegant razorback on his Thunder Mustang looking for winning speed.
    A sleek racer new to Reno is the GP 5,'Sweet Dreams' putting a racing Chevy in a small airframe with a tactical master around the pylons, Lee Behel. Another one of a kind, a modified Questair Venture 'Bad Intentions' flown by Mike Dacey with the 'Bad' habit of scouting by at the home pylon is also reaching for the Gold. And hanging in the pack are the twin turbocharged Lancair Legacy racers of Lynn Farnsworth and Tom Reynolds, the slightest wide turn or engine hiccup, and these veteran racers will eat you for lunch. It should be exciting .

        There is a big difference, and It makes Blue II my pick to win.

              Did your other engine fail, or is the new motor an upgrade in power? (Assuming everything works correctly)

                Aerosport Power and ECi together went through my engine 540NXT and pimped it out with everything they would think of and Then Some!!! Third day of flying and the plane is a different animal! Runs great and strong, as smooth as I have ever seen.



                We start pushing it into high gear tomorrow now that everything is working good!!! I totally abandoned the high tech cooling tricks and when back to dumping the oil cooler off the back of the engine and simple scoops with the exhaust working to push out heat. Oil runs at 189f with 91 outside temp and 40+ inches continuous, very nice!!!!

                I can't wait to get on the course!!!

                    Kevin,

                    You have always been a class act. In 2007 you made 3 new fans out of my Wife, myself and our 12 year old. We have been pulling for you ever since. Here is to a good, fast, safe year and you pulling some serious hardware at the awards banquet.

                    Tom
