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,

      Wow, wait, back up the truck.... So there are 2 P38s there? They got White Lightning done in time for the races? Last I saw they were a long way from flying. If this is true, thats a pretty good qualifying speed for a basically stock P38. I need to see pictures of this. I think someone is pulling our legs here.

            I heard the boom all the way in truckee.

              Race 13 is Howard's Sea Fury btw, not White Lightning. Nelson is drivng, and did qualify it today. Oh and that boom you heard during 232's qual lap was the aircraft crapping itself in anticipation of Bear's upcoming lap.

                  I knew it was to good to be true! Earlier the RARA site was showing Nelson flying p38L, Lightning but now they don't even show a list of the entries. Thanks RARA.
                  So now I'm waiting for team Sani-hut with their P82 and unknown ace pilot (Ben Dover) to set fastest qualifying time of the week.

                    Careful, that Ben Dover guy is pretty crafty. He was a major player in the buying of titanium from the Russians for a certain very fast spy plane back in the 60s. The company's logo just happens to be a skunk.

                      I heard Sani-hut brought in a ringer by the name of whof arted.

                      Suposidly Whof arted has introduced the team to a new type of fuel, to be used along with the nitro system.

                          A green Sea Fury from Breckenridge has been wearing the number "13" in addition to its own number ever since the P-38's accident. Its Howard's Fury, not the P-38.

                            I thought that the Sani-Hut team was only there to fly around and clean up after everyone crapped themselves watching the Bear qualify.
