Will Dago Rise Again?

Re: Will Dago Rise Again?

I really hope they touch the one thing on the plane that could make the most difference, instead of leaving it stock (afaik)...

Thanks Mark -- that's the one thing that for some reason did not occur to me...

I would sooner bet on Wildfyre racing this year than RB running..............

The end of their 2014 video says RB will be back in 2015, the races are on their event schedule with RB slated to attend, I don't see why the negativity??

With the technological advances in all areas associated with producing higher speeds, and the Chino factor. VooDoo should provide some new records for their hard work!

The young man grew up on his dad's lap, what a great childhood!

Re: Will Dago Rise Again?

Since they are making a new scoop for Voodoo I would think it will be very close to if not an exact copy of Dago's.

I didn't think they were actually working on the scoop, as per the NAG recount of the banquet:

Then came the question of changing the bottom scoop to be more like Strega's. Steven's response was "actually the radiator on Voodoo cools very well, aerodynamically there is always room for improvement on the airplane, but we're not at that stage of the game right now we're paying attention to other things, so we'll see if we get there. There are lots of options for scoops or no scoops and so forth so it’s on the list."

So, cool!

Back to Dago, I thought the exact Facebook quote should be posted:

Dago turning into a TF was a rumor started here (Facebook). It's all together in one place. And depending on how Reno goes, it'll race again. That, from Steve Hinton Jr who visited it a month ago or so.

I'm banking on sooner than later that Dago Red is back on the unlimited roster.

An optimist would say maybe even 2016??

There are pics floating around of the new scoop and ducting being fabricated. The scoop inlet looks Dago-ish from the side with a slightly wider mouth opening when compared from the front. There is also a new one piece duct from the scoop inlet back to the face of the radiators.

Could those pics float their way over here?

I have seen them, but I am not at liberty to share. They weren't posted publicly.

This was great!

I don't have a personal account there.. Literally just a nameless account, from which I follow the air racing threads. That's it!
