Sport class and the jets! WOW what a turnout. Kinda hoping to see Thom Richard's name. I didn't know if his F1 could or would be repaired.

T-6 race pilot DR Michael Pfleger has stepped up to unlimited class, does anyone know what plane is he is flying, it's listed as Marlet??

It's a typo, "Martlet". It's the CAF's Blue camo FM-2 painted to represent a F4F Martlet. So it's a Wildcat to replace Air Biscuit is how I'm looking at it

Is that Tom's "Phantom" that Andrew Buehler has in the Biplane?

Congratulation to RARA for attracting this many unlimited unlimited teams, along with expanded participation by Sport and Jet Classes. Also, I want to express my appreciation to all the unlimited owners and crews for making the effort to participate this year.

Would have liked to see # 92 (Lylia) Back.

I'm sure Dusty would like to be there too. He is a crop duster though and if he's in high demand that takes precedence over racing.


Is anyone else dying now more than ever to know what John M is flying???

Gonna miss Dusty for sure! I forgot about the crop dusting part, thought Nelson's accident might have been a factor too. But yes John is beint incredibly secretive with that plane. Polar Bear wouldn't be historically accurate since Shanty was a B model. But...
