Apologies for the poor spelling, any incorrect or repeated info:
Precious Metal, who ran great in the afternoon session, has some kick ass shirts for sale. But don't forget about Blue Thunder's shirts!
Sept Pops popped. Plane and Mike are okay but there is damage to the cowling. Don't know how serious.
Dreadnought replaced at least one cyl. last night and flew today; sounded good.
Rare Bear is being worked on.
Riff Raff is running a Skyraider style scoop and seemed to be running very well.
Sparky has jelly beans smeared all over it. Looks good! (Jelly Belly sponsorship).
Ridge Runner running like a wild boar! Welcome back Danny.
NemesisNXT as of 5:00 PM was still by runway 8. It looks like the prop did strike, but I'm not 100% sure. Team NXT has packed up their pit area. I know the Jon and crew will get her back and she will be better than ever. I am very glad that Jon appeared to be okay and wish the team the best of luck.
At the first sport class session, Greenamyer, Sharp, and Parker lined up together. There was so much excitement and anticipation that these three planes, pilots, and team brought with them to the line. My heart goes out the NXT team!
Greenamyer qualified at 347 mph in 2nd place.
John Parker in Blue Thunder qualified 1st in the sports class at 349.507 mph. That also makes Blue Thunder the fastest normally aspirated aircraft in the world. Also the fastest recorded Sport Class speed in the RARA database!
