Santa Rosa runway excursion

[Tin Man]

Heard a RUMOR that a certain new to be racer got off into the weeds at Santa Rosa the other day. Might have gotten a gear banged up in the process. Any details?

Hi Tom

There was a brake failure, and it was turned off the runway to prevent going off the end. There was no damage to the gear, only scratches to the gear doors. No other damage, airplane scheduled to fly this weekend.

That's great news!! I had heard that the aircraft went up on it's nose, getting the prop, spinner and maybe bending the gear. I'm glad the rumur wasn't true.

So you're saying the server had an 'off-runway excursion' of sorts too?

Red,

Glad you hear it wasn't you guys. A friend of mine was at U.S. Propeller in Stockton and there was a bent prop that was supposidly off a Yak from Santa Rosa. So I naturally assumed It was you guy's It'll be great to see "Steadfast" at PRS.

Good Luck
