Smokey's #3 is a re-do of the Budde #2 Okie Streaker (aka: Frieberg Special...)
Not sure what he's calling it now, I kinda like Okie Smokey
and yeah, he is a great guy.

Gary's airplane has a little history. It flew in the '69 Cleveland Races, and has been on the cover of Air Progress. Great to see it back, with an obviously enthusiastic new owner, a welcome addition.

Yeah, neat little bird. It is the only Cassutt I have ever seen with flaps. The ailerons and flaps are aluminum too, which is different.

Re: A few from PRS

Any straight wing jet can race this year. I believe there is a T-33 at PRS also.

Here you go Speedy!

Re: A few from PRS

Ok, lets see if I can get everyones request in for photos. it's all I can do......I cant do anymore. With the Dwelle's T-6's so evenly matched I can foresee some serious competition between the Tom and the boys. I see Tom already trumped the boys and took number 7 for himself. As the boys said......................dad pays the bills, so he gets the number. Chalk one up for the over 50 crowd. Can't wait for September. Enjoy the photos!

Re: A few from PRS

It was good to see everyone. A HUGE thank you goes out to RARA and Valerie in particular for everything. Being afforded the kind of access they allowed us, gives us the opportunity to bring the PRS to the masses. Without the cooperation of RARA, the kind of coverage from the PRS would be limited to the pit area. And that simply would not allow us to bring the PRS happenings direct to you.................in your face so to speak.

Great shots, Dave - Where does your work get published?

Re: A few from PRS

Who's flying Argo? Mark Watt? Nelson Ezell?

I believe that is Matt flying with Dennis in the back.

Re: A few from PRS

Kinda bummed to see Skip in a sports class racer... not that there is anything wrong with that, but we hope that Skip will be back in a gold class unlimited! Be cool if he ran in both classes

If the Jet Class can muster up enough racers to come to Reno in September, it should be a very interesting race, with all the different types the class is now open to. ... From what I have been told they need 18 racers to show to be able to race.

hmm, lessee, straight wings, no burners - hey I know 9 guys with jets like that who'll be in Reno about that time, maybe we can talk them into entering to help fill up the field:

C'mon guys, you're outta the country - who'll ever know

cheers

Sexy.......

Hey...how much 'sweep' on a wing is allowed before its not considered 'straight' anymore?

I'm thinking an F-104 has a 'straight wing' if you look at the layout of it.

Re: A few from PRS

and exactly how wide are you doing to take the turns????

YOu know, I've talked to a few former Starfighter pilot, and aparently the plane was quite nimble for the size of its wings. I really don't think it would have much trouble negotiating the course, provided it wasn't full burner at Mach 1.5.

Re: A few from PRS

Your right about Skip and the cowbell. Was hanging around near him Friday when he conmmented to someone "If there was only a way to make this puppy a little faster". Was'nt there a 3350 for sale on e-bay?
Was a beautifully prepared plane tho!
Only made Friday. Looked for a few of the AAFOer's but came up fairly empty. Saw you Shawn but could never catch up!

Re: A few from PRS

We had enough dealing with sunstroke and rumors for awhile.

What?

RUMORS????

From the Peanut Gallery???????

Well, you know what they say about rumors, right? They're the same as opinions. And we all know about opinions.......

Even more fun when you consider where and when the rumors come from.


Speaking of which....anyone see Double Threat there this weekend? Team Wang?
