Any drama out there?

[planecrazy2]

What will the big drama be this year before the races? Any guesses?

Are all parties in agreement with their respective race course? Deadlines? Height restrictions? F.A.A.? Insurance cost? New C.E.O? Will the Bear team start a 3 month test program to dial in their plane before September? Will Thom install an in-line overthruster?

5 months to go. Any rumblings?

You probably know better than I do, but I had read recently that the 3 blade was removed because it put too much stress on the airframe. Don't get me wrong it would be an awesome sight to see/hear again, but I have doubts about it ever happening again because of why it was removed.

Re: Any drama out there?

If you have to ask/know how much it costs to prep/fly an unlimited racer vrs prize money you probably shouldn't be doing it.

So if it used to be published information, why all the secrecy now?

It's sure no secret in NASCAR, not that I watch it.

Because in NASCAR it's actually an amount that can be bragged about
