of the National Air-Racing Group annual

same room with men like Rolls

Thorne; Cleveland Air Race pilot and WWII
Veteran, Chuck Tucker; six time Reno Gold
winner, Tiger Destefani; Lockheed's Pete
Law; Eagle's Nest's Dennis Sanders;
former Reno Race Announcer,
"Sandy" Sanders.. The list goes
on and on.. Tom Dwelle, Art Vance, Steve
Bartholf, Mike "Sparrow"
Barrow, T.J. Dwelle, Chris Farinha, Art
"Tinman" Ermshar, Bill
"Kerch" Kerchenfaut!
This is a long list and I'm
quite sure I've missed some!

The featured guest
of the evening was Dwight Thorne,
ostensibly, announcing his retirement
(many will believe this when they see it)
but the featured guest brought a guest of
his own to add to the excitement of the
evening! Cleveland Era Air Racer, test
pilot (we could have another long list
here!) Charles "Chuck" Tucker
accompanied Dwight and fascinated all who
were present with his stores about his
career, and his very
clipped wing P-63 King Cobra
Cleveland-Era Raceplane.
Pull up a chair and join the
crowd at the 2002 NAG banquet!

One of the most entertaining
people in the sport of Air Racing...
"The Tige" talks about his
history in the sport, his hard to achieve
retirement and his quest for sponsorship,
as he and his long time engine man,
Dwight "THEDOCTOR" Thorne swap
stories. This conversation would make the
trip to the banquet worthwhile as a
stand-alone presentation, but there's
much more to come!

What an evening it was! Some
of the greatest people in any motorsport —ANY—
motorsport, together in the same room
reflecting on their experiences in Air
Racing. In this sixteen minute recording,
you'll hear Bill "Kerch"
Kerchenfaut, the "Crew Chief's Crew
Chief" reflecting on his career in
the worlds fastest motorsport. We think
you'll agree with Bill when he repeats a
statement he has made many times.
"It's The People" that make
this sport what it is! Bill Kerchenfaut
is certainly one of those people...
