Official or otherwise Unlimiteds for 2014?

[GeeBeeZ1931]

Does anyone have a list of the Unlimited entries for this year? Official or otherwise? My @#&! computer wouldn't even show the PRS list.
What's the condition of Furias right now?
Thanks for any answers.

Voodoo (for sure)
232 (haven't heard anything but Rod and Hoot had a kick a$$ plane last year so I say she will be coming)
Rare Bear (Rod is bringing her as long as the engine is in which it will be)
Precious Metal (Thom's going to come just haven't seen any official proof yet)
Czech Mate (for sure)
Strega (I'm gonna say pretty sure)
Dreadnaught (if she's fixed she's coming)
Sawbones (for sure)
La Patrona (I guess she was supposed to come last year but had issues and with a better purse I think Rod will field her)
Miss America (usually contender so I say yes if she's healthy)
Slower guys....(just guessing)
-lady jo
-sparky
-924 and argonaut
-speedball
-the rebel (maybe the corsair too)
-Boise bee and the P-40s?
-Tobul's corsair if it's fixed, if not then something else fun
-(any pilot that has raced in the last 3 years can fly in something this year) if you thing about it in 2011 there was an extremely full field and any of those pilots can come back this year and didn't have to go to PRS so we just have to wait and see.
And now the possible fun ideas..... Cloud Dancer or Dago Red.
Haven't heard anything about Sea Furies (Merced or Furias) so I'm not gonna speculate on them just yet who knows though anything can happen and it feels like anything IS happening this year.

An educated guess:

PM
Voodoo
Czech Mate
Rare Bear
232
Saw Bones
924
Argo
Dread?
Sparky
The Rebel
Jim Tobul's Corsair if it is ready in time.
Possibly 3-4 other stock airplanes depending on the outcome of the Second PRS on Sept.
Slight possibility of Strega.

Furias is still a LONG way from being done. As in several more years.

Any chance of JCP coming back now that the purse has been "re-adjusted"?

Re: Official or otherwise Unlimiteds for 2014?

I have been told multiple times that Miss America will not be returning.
Dreadnought will be there.
Rare Bear dependent on Engine.
232 Dunno if they have a new engine yet.
Guessing that 232 and Bear are a factor in the Tigercat coming

232 has the engine back and on the airplane. Andy has been working on the new scoop and induction system. They will be ready.

Great news, that. Thank you for the information. I've been wondering about her (232).

Without revealing any secrets, what did you guys determine to have gone south on last year's new engine during the test run?
