Information on 2004 Reno air races

[PAT STELTZ]

Does anybody know the status of Bill Destefani and Strega for 2004 ?

Strega and Tiger Bill...

Unfortunately, it appears as though Strega will be firmly locked in her Shafter hangar during the 2004 Reno event. At this point, the future of the racer is uncertain, but trust me, Strega WILL fly again. Let's just hope we all get to see her turn the pylons again sometime in the very near future.

I heard that Tiger sold a bunch of land recently. Maybe Strega will be back in the air sooner than expected and possibly at Reno!

Strega's 'glide ratio' just isn't very good without an engine up front. Best to keep her in the stable until then.

I suppose we could tow her behind Deadnot or something.
