Bear, Strega, or Fury call it

Re: Bear, Strega, or Fury call it

After all, all three of those airplanes can race at 445-450 mph, and 445 has won a lot of Gold Races over the years. Especially in years when there were only one or two really dominant super racers.

Re: Bear, Strega, or Fury call it

Those clipped wings might help 232. Last year I watched Mike Brown from several different angles and it looked to me that he tends to pull hard and hook the pylons. Shorter wings would let the plane slide out a little and make his line more symmetrical, therefore keeping his speed more constant, and therefore, faster.

OK, I don't have a clue what I'm talking about but it sounded good to me.

232 and the Bear fly the fastest and closest race ever with 232 first. Sherm in 86 third with the Buick pushing him hard. Spirit of Texas, Strega, Voodoo, Riff Raff.

Will's only putting up a smoke screen with the prop... He's actually converting to a 4360 and plans on taking the Gold.
If Bear is tight and Tiger is stock, 232/77/86/8/7.
I'm open to a hard tight race where I'm proven totally wrong by one and/or all!

Re: Bear, Strega, or Fury call it

What I would like to see happen is Voodoo, Strega and then who ever.

The're all exceeding 500 until the last lap when they all mayday out, and Dreadnought wins again.
Just kidding...
Chris...

Why kid? That's ALWAYS a distinct possibility!


But my "dark horse" this year is Voodoo. Button's due some good luck.

Re: Bear, Strega, or Fury call it

Watch out for Sherman laying in the weeds, waiting for somebody to pull out safely! Probably 232, 77, 8, 86, 105, 5.

PS. Air Biscuit coming up the rear! Ha!

Re: Bear, Strega, or Fury call it

I think Riff Raff should be somewhere in that latest list of predictions...

Re: Bear, Strega, or Fury call it

Strega's runs are clocking pretty fast!

See anything new?

Re: Bear, Strega, or Fury call it

Riff Raff unfortunately does not look to be coming. Not on entry list.

Just checked the entry list and Riff Raff is listed only with Mike Keenam as pilot
