Sport Race 24 has a new owner

It appears that Kevin Eldridge bought Jim Rust's Race 24 and will be racing this year. I really hope his luck changes with this plane. It would be cool to see him get the win after all these years of trying.

Kevin is perhaps the most snakebit competitor in Reno history. It would be nice to see him running at the sharp end without the worry of another DNF.

I fully agree. He's a great pilot and really does deserve a win.

Heck, Kevin's "luck" extended outside of Reno....First time I saw him was the Super Corsair bail-out and crash at Phoenix in '94!
I really admire the guy, he never gives up!!

Not the same Kevin.

Different guy. Same name.

The deadstick landing in his NXT after the prop exploded is a testament to his piloting skills. I can still hear the shriek before it kicked a rod.

It feels like that was forever ago. (Pre 2011) but that was a scary moment and a great save
