    He still "races" Argonaut. A lot less demanding and much more enjoyable than CM.

      Be sure to check out Biplane #3 this year. He's got some very cool 3D printed inlets. He has several sets with different opening diameters so he can tune the cooling and reduce drag.

      (Sam I saw you've gone public about the inlets on fb so I figure you wouldn't mind me talking about them here)

        There were 2 more Unlimited's added as of the initial entry list, more than likely Eagle's Wings and Crusader, but I have yet to get confirmation.

        Sport is currently at 36, same number as last year. They allow 40 to show up, correct? Anywhere from 36-40 in my eyes is a "full" sport field. Pretty cool that just under half of those are capable of 300+ give or take!

          Confirmed to be Robbie Patterson flying Wee Willy II, and Dan Vance in Speedball.

          Maybe 14 entries this year with Eagle's Wings and Crusader...?

                I don't see"Strega" listed so maybe "Tiger" will bring it for display only. It will be sad that "Stevo" won't be racing anything.

                  Would be great if the T-33 and Willy head up to Stead with 2 race Mustangs in tow, better than them sitting at POF all weekend, eh?
