Reno
Air Races, Sept 14, 1999, Second Qualification Day
The various class
fields were nearly filled Tuesday in a flurry of
qualifying. Times are shown at the end of this report.
The day was
incident and accident free, save for a disaster in the
mid-afternoon at the home pylon. A dust devil struck the
scorer's and timers table and Pylon Judges station
sending papers, hats, debris aflying. Two injuries
occurred to the Pylon Judges when the dust devil picked
up an EZY-Up canopy tent and tried to send it skyward.
Chief Pylon Judge Norm Kirby tried to hold it down with
is 250+ weight but it up-ended Kirby and gave him two
severe scratches and a torn shirt. Assistant Chief Pylon
Judge Eileen Krueger also tried to hold the tent corner
down and was picked up off her feet several feet and
thrown heavily to the ground, injuring her hip.
In a gesture of
sportsmanship the Santa Monica Museum of Flying and Bruce
Lockwood loaned their spare Merlin to the Voodoo Team
after Bob "Hurricane" Hannah's runaway prop
yesterday destroyed their Dwight Thorn Merlin. The
replacement engine is not full race but Hannah should be
able to qualify Wednesday, probably in the second period.
Hannah's loss of propeller control resulted from failure
of a ten dollar oil pressure hose. (editors note: after
submission of this article the propeller has been found
to be damaged as well and as of this publishing... Voodoo
is out of the action again.... stay tuned!)
Qualifying
continues Wednesday.
