Unlimited - Dreadnought qualified at 430 and change - pretty respectable. Miss America on the course tomorrow. Not a surprise, but I expect them up front, Argonaut and 924 together with Bernie seeing if he can get any extra speed to catch up to them. It's a ~30mph difference so it's a stretch, but hopefully Bernie will give us some of the best speeds Goldfinger has ran. Speedball Alice and Blondie together, possibly Jeff trying to catch them throughout the weekend while holding off Wee Willy II and Spam Can. Winner of that battle has the option to bump to Gold (I believe) if nobody else breaks before Sunday. Back of the pack will be Man 'O War, Lady B, Bunny, and Pretty Polly.
Jet - Looks like we are going to have four L-29's that can run up near 500. That's a little scary. Curious to see if any of the L-39's can keep up this year. Red Thunder looks pretty fast. Everything else has been lackluster.
Sport - So far a rough time for Sport. Mojo and Clas Thunder I are the only Gold planes to get times. Mojo top qualifier for now at lower than expected - 334, Clas Thunder I a little faster than normal with the race engine and 3-blade at 327. Relentless maydayed with an easy fix being taken care of tonight. Fire tanker disrupted some of the other planes on the course. Tomorrow will be hectic, but fun.
T6 - Midnight Miss III is the only fast T6 that got a time today. I have doubts that the new pilot will be able to keep up with the other three. Looking for some good racing between Gunslinger, Baron's Revenge, and Radial Velocity all weekend.
F1 - Endeavor is out. I heard rumors of this, but do not know why. Looks like it'll be Limitless' race to lose unless Miss Min has a little more kick this year.
Bip - Not much to go off of yet. Money still on Bad Mojo.
In other news, POF's freshly restored Bearcat and movie-paint Corsair arrived for static. RARA also announced that the Top Gun Superhornet will be coming in Friday after the races to be on static the rest of the weekend. Sounds like we might get some twilight afterburner passes..?
Weather looks awesome!
