That's really all there is to it. Land, make a right then a left and your home. What a great idea.
I'm jealous, I want a home on the airport with airplanes also. Then I want a house on the lake with a hot rod boat...
Not to be nosey but what type of work does he do to acquire such expensive toys?
I would guess that it is mainly economics. It's expensive fielding three unlimited aircraft!
Mike is bigger than economics and (not that you said it Race9) being pissed off about politics at the races.
He has issues to deal with at home and wants to chill out now. Racing and fielding 3 airplanes is a year-round effort, and he is ready to settle down and enjoy life as it is.
We all need to thank him and his family for what they gave us the last several years.
You won't find a more dedicated racer like he has been.
On behalf of the September Pops team, Al and I would like to thank all of you for your heart felt support and kind words through this process. How amazing it is to hear from everyone with such positive things to say! It has been 11 years since we began racing and the joy it has brought us is indefinable. As the years progressed and airplanes increased, so did our crew. They all worked incredibly hard and should be proud of everything they accomplished. As you all know, it takes year round effort, time and investment to field these planes and operate a race program of this caliber. It was always pursued with a fifth gear pined mentality and a heart felt desire to win, by all crew members.
We have incredible fans and appreciate the unwavering support, despite where or what our status was each year. This sport is very unique and we are so proud to have been a small part of it. Although the future is changing for us, we will not forget the fans, friends and incredible memories we have made.
Well...I see it´s official. I´m so sorry.
Thank you Mr. Brown and all the Team.
May be you come back to race again in the future, who knows? I hope so.
Everybody will be waiting for you with the open arms

Mike Brown is an outstanding, talented, unlimited air race pilot and was one of the fiercest competitors in recent times out there on the course. If we don't see him again, either looking forward through the windscreen or the in rear view mirror, he will be missed.
A great, dedicated team and lovely family.......
