Sunday Gold Race Line Up

[Leo]

Re: Sunday Gold Race Line Up

And one must be reminded that both Dago and Stilletto won their first years out, so new aircraft and systems working right are not unheard of, and Leeward has many years to fall back on.
I think Strega has a great program, it has paid off the last couple years, and I would still like to see Voodoo up there.
I don't understand why the Bear is such an underdog to so many. Sure she has broken A LOT in the past, but she has also won A LOT. This year they have her prepared, the money to do it right and have been shaking her down for a week.
I won't predict because it seems that all of them have a decent chance as long as that one little doohicky (you know, the one that always seems to mean a broken motor or system) stays together throughout the week.
If so, it's gonna be one hell of a race come Sunday.

Re: Sunday Gold Race Line Up

This year's top 6 will all be so fast, and finish so close together (with the Ghost winning) that they will be bought up and semi-retired to the fully flying Air Racing Hall of Fame Museum that Paul Allen will build at Stead (and bring out only every other year to race against the "newbies) , thus opening up this lineup for the 2011 Gold:

1st-Furias and a new-winged Czech Mate in a first ever Dead Heat photo-finish tie.
2nd-American Spirit custom built with R-3350 in debut.
3rd-Shockwave custom built with R-4360 in debut.
4th-Dago Red with new owner and a few new tricks.
5th-Race 232 September Fury with new owner and R-4360.
6th-Race 74 F2G Super Corsair.
7th-a re-engineered Precious Metal with a composite 5-blade prop.
8th-The turbo-compound R-3350 Yak-11 (ex-FrostBite, ex-Red Heat, ex-Mr, Awesome) with new owner.
9th-Wildfire with a 21st century Skunk Works crew.

Oh man, I ate too many tacos before going to bed last night.

Are you sure it was the toco's?

Re: Sunday Gold Race Line Up

Wayne,

Any chance of us having a pool on what everyone thinks Sunday Gold is gonna turn out like?

$1 a shot, must be payed Friday night, predictions written down Friday, and we pay Sunday around 6 or 7 for a little "see ya next year" party.

Ifi no one hits the top 5 dead on then all proceeds go to AAFO.

If there are multiple winners, all moneys go directly to funding for next year's party.

Just a suggestion.

2000 miles and closing at warp factor 1,

Gambling? In Reno?
And it's more likely the smoke wafting over from the hippies next door, Lowell, than the taco's. Tho come to think of it the two could be related.
