Does anybody know if the GP-5 Sweet Dreams V8 Super Sport plane will be racing at Reno this year?

Last I heard it should be at Oskosh and Reno.

I must say that, for me, nothing beats the sound of a merlin or radial, but for some reason, when I hear the V-8 in the GP-5, I begin to salivate and the little hairs on my neck stand up and dance! That thing is down right sweet. I can't wait to see it again this year!

It's the same thing with the Grand Prix/Unlimited Light hydroplanes...they will never be as fun (for me) as the Unilmited hydroplanes....but there is some SERIOUS horsepower under the cowlings!
