'Monday-after-the-races' at Reno/Stead Field - 9/17/84:
A classic example of a severely- 'holed' RR Merlin piston, is illustrated here in a macro view of this gremlin-kissed unit - extracted from P-51D Mustang Racer #7 STREGA's motor, which forced race pilot Ron Hevle to execute a premature Lap-7 exit out of Sunday's Reno '84 Unlimited Gold Championship final.
Word from the late & great Doctor Dwight noted that Strega pilot/owner- Tiger Bill retained this one as a keepsake mantel memento for himself (-definately a v-spendy piece of metal arts there, 4-sure!) DBD
