Re: A- 'HOLE in one'...
The air racing gremlins were hard at work at Reno '97 NCAR & hungry for making trouble, especially within the ranks of the Unlimiteds. Some compelling evidence of their voracious appetites is illustrated in the following B&W archive photos, including some truly knarley holes & bite marks.
This first set of shots details pilot/owner- Tom Dwelle's Super Sea Fury - Race #10 CRITICAL MASS, following noted hired-gun race pilot- Skip Holm's Lap-5 Mayday exit from Sunday's Unlimited Silver on 9/14/97.
While Skip was holding down third place, leading edge fragments of #10's engine cowling began breaking-off & did some serious extra damage to the Hawker's RH horizontal stabililzer- giving Holm the impression he'd been targeted by ack-ack. Tom Dwelle is seen giving some die-hard fans the inside scoop in the pits after the event. DBD
