Re: Rare Bear speed record video?

Hi all, first post here and I really enjoy the conversations and info on this site. I got the Rare Bear DVD in the mail today and just watched it. I really enjoyed the quality of the video, and the interviews with crews that worked on the plane. I was really was hoping that it would have covered more history of the plane in depth, like the problems of using a R3350 instead of a R2800 or who came up with the idea to use a 3 bladed prop also it would have been neat to see some footage of the speed record run and the time to climb attempt. What they did was a recap of the 2007 season, which I did enjoy and I have a ton of respect for all involved with Rare Bear to make the race that year and every year with all race teams. I now want to buy the book about Lyle Shelton and Rare Bear to find out the rest of the story. Like I said I really enjoyed the video and am glad that someone took the time to make it. This is only my simple opinion.

I'm glad I didn't buy the DVD then because I would've been disappointed. Not including footage of the speed or climb record is like having a DVD about Apollo 11, but only showing footage of the spacecraft while it's sitting on the launch pad.

I'll bet you woulld still enjoy the video, some cool pictures like when Lyle first got the Bear, and some of the paint jobs over the years. I would buy it again.

You're probably right, but it's puzzling to me why they'd omit the most important aspects of this plane's history from the video...

Ahh... maybe they didn't own any footage?

Re: Rare Bear speed record video?

I was there and don't recall anyone taking video/film of the time to climb record. There may be some still photos someone took.. Folks were focused on getting it done.. Lyle was a great pilot, racer, competitor and all around good guy.. He certainly positively influenced my life..

I can't believe someone didn't at least get some good cell phone video I mean really it wasn't like it was done last century or something.

Don't you suppose the people doing the timing were busy watching their stop watches for the OFFICIAL records???? Jes' sayin' they had a different agenda.

Re: Rare Bear speed record video?

did cell phones have video cameras in the VHS days ?

Re: Rare Bear speed record video?

Well, umm, (cough cough) yeah, I guess so. Isn't that how they verify records?

Re: Rare Bear speed record video?

time to climb record was set in 1972, ABC Sports may have it on tape. cell phones were not around then... speed record was set in on Aug 21, 1989.....
