Maybe there is nothing really wrong with it, that was just the smoke system. Sandbagging, I say.

924- 376
The Rebel- 296
Korean war hero- 297

The Rebel at 296mph and Korean War Hero at 297mph...Is that even fast enough to actually qualify?...I thought there was a 300 minimum...I could be wrong as I often am.

Rules at Reno are VERY flexible. If there are no slow (or small) planes that anyone wants to exclude I suspect that RARA will figure out a way for everybody to participate...

No, they are done... the engine is seized and there was metal in the oil on the sides of the plane... they wiped it down before moving it to the pit but Dan Vance told me about the Oil, then Hoot confirmed... bad news!
