I've seen that Glasair before at some airshows in the static display section. I believe it is involved with cross country racing.

Glasair has raced at AirVenture race(s), would imagine the Gyroflug SC10B (factory built), does similar 'races'.

Ya know... my grandfather used to do a few races like this and there are a few trophies floating around my grandmother's house. That got me wondering, so I punched in "Pearce" and I came up with this:

Year: 1980
Place: 4
Race: 82
Pilot: David Pearce
Co-pilot: Ernie Batstone
Aircraft: Cessna 182
Points: 273

Unless there is some amazing coincidence, that would be my uncle. He lived in San Jose and flew a 182. I'll have to ask my dad about this.

Thanks for the link.
