team voodoo

Re: team voodoo

They might save some weight on Voodoo...but those profiled wings were a big part of what made her fast. Sadly, her owner is clipping her feathers a little at a time, first the canopy un-modification and now the wings...Oh well, it's his airplane.

Re: team voodoo

The race motor is on the test stand in Ione and should be running today. There were carb problems that had to be resolved and now they are going to run the engine about 10 hours before installing it. We hope to video the running this next week. Voodoo is in Red Bluff get the bondo remove from the wings. They are putting a temporary paint job on the wings for Reno. Then the plane will go to Texas for new colors but the same scheme. Your are correct that Bob will have plenty horse power to work with this year. Should be an exciting race. Thanks for all the support. We will continue to update the Web site right up to Reno and will post info for everyone to check out.

Thanks again for your support and please check out the video we have on the web site. The interview with Bob is very informative.

Considering what I saw when they first did the bondo job in '98, that should result in a couple hundred pounds coming off.

Re: team voodoo

Mike Barrow has built Bob a wee little mouse motor for the purple racer. One can only imagine what would have been had Bob made this decision 4 years ago. In any event, it will be interesting to see what Bob will do with new found horsepower. Mouse should be tucked away under the hood within weeks and even with moderate power settings Bob now has a 440-450 mph racer under his seat. Let the Voodoo do what the Voodoo does best, Run baby run!!!!!! Good luck Bob and stay away from the rear bumper of that Buick.

Re: team voodoo

Didn't someone post that Voodoo was going to get a "Sparrow" Rolls Royce this year??? Wasn't it Ridge Runner with a Sparrow engine that walked by Dreadnaught last year and was dong 460 plus?
Imagine a Sparrow engine mounted on the slick airframe of Voodoo !!
