malepek Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Greetings Anyone else here in Reno for the Air Races. Just flew in today and going out to Stead tomorrow to check things out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WymanV Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I will likely be there Saturday. The execs at work have been bugging me to go and since I did a wee bit of work on a couple of the planes out there I suppose I better make a showing. They better have cold soda pop Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nightiemission Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 (edited) Update from RenoVodoo, Strega and Spirit of Texas are broken. Spirit of Texas is going home on a truck. Voodoo and Strega are hurt but not out, Ridge Runner lll also has engine problems and is going back together as well. Their engines are going back together tonight. Spirit of Texas is indeed going home on a trailer. Sparky called a mayday with an unknown engine problem, also Howard Pardue, in his Bearcat called a mayday with an unknown problem. All will most likely be up and running tomorrow. Galloping Ghost is supposed to be there but, wiil not race this year.

The Rat Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Steve Hinton Jr. just made his dad proud by grabbing the pole in the first Unlimited Qualifier, 486.17mph in Strega. Looks like Tiger picked a good replacement for himself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
