Just talked to Will. While flying Voodoo @ 100" and 3400 it sneezed going around pylon 2. Safe landing on 14. Not sure what let go.....burned pistons maybe. More as it comes.

Re: Race 5 mayday
Unfortunately, I had a great experience yesterday in Voodoo. That airplane is really fast! I loved going around the pylons in it. You can really tell what it has been modified for, Going FAST! The engine was the smoothest reciprocating engine I have ever started. The MayDay was interesting. I had alot of very experienced racers come up to me afterword and offer congratulations on getting through my first real one. I have to say that there is no training that will completely prepare you for the real thing like the"REAL THING". Glad to hear CJ's and Dan Vance's voice on the radio when I was looking or a place to land. Funny what you feel like when god and everybody is watching your every move. Looks like one burned piston. I have to say it was the most rewarding flight I've had since I began air racing. I'm glad I've put forth the effort to get here. It's an honor.
Sorry to Bob and the Voodoo crew for cutting our fun short. Bob has plans for us next year.
Man, I loved going fast.
500+ Someday!

Now back to going 400 today in SteadFast.....................

Re: Race 5 mayday
Thanks for the update Will. Sounds like voodoo is done? That is very sad news and heartbreaking to you for sure. Looking forward to seeing steadfast break 400.
