Posts made past 02:30PM 12/30/24 won't be on the new site!

We are in the final stages of resolving the issues with the forums move to the new location. After talking with tech support, the only solution was to send him a copy of all the images. This will take time - but we know the fix SO it's only a matter of time now.

Thanks again for your patience,

    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.

        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!

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

                Why kid? That's ALWAYS a distinct possibility!

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

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

                            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
