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... the sport is changing.. here we are just a scant 2.5 weeks away from the event and we're talking as much about the sports as we are UL's!!



    Don't get me wrong, I'll always favor the big guys but, 'ey.... thinking back a few years, this is a real change for the good!

    Nobody's really talking much abut the twin super'd T-Stang that Parker's been devoting a lot of his time prepping...

    Wild card???

    Time for an "out on the limb" forecast!!

        I think we have seen 33 at full power and 33 can't post 386(3x) on the course without some major surgery.

        It would be good for the sport if someone wedged one of those big pony continentals into an NXT, find out what the lycomings can do.

            Wayne, I have been helping some friends getting F-1 Dancing Queen #22 Cassutt ready for Reno as well as trying to get my posts edited. Will PM you shortly, sure wish I could make the barbeque, but can't put anything together, will see you as previously planned though.

                It's time for the return of the red Mustang into the winners circle. No $5.00 part failures this year. Dago joins the mix with Sept Fury and Rare Bear and noses out the competition. Wildest Unlimited race in history! Dan Martin gets a well deserved victory and the new owners sign him on for a multi-year contract. Well, maybe not the contract part.
                In the Super Sport Class, Kevin will take Relentless to the winners circle as the student schools the teacher this year. This race will only wet the appetites for the Sport Class of the future as more NXT's enter the mix and vie for gold. I would love to see an epic battle between the two NXT's and the new Thunder Mustang, race 75. Now that's racing!

                          Correct the mice are gone, the proper term is "SPARROWHAWK" and if a mouse can beat a bear........

                              In the Super Sport class, speeds will increase 5% over last year results, the predictable will be unpredictable, and a sleeping demon will awake and give the 'big money guys' a race for the Take Home MONEY. Sunday will be a lesson in Speed and Timing.
