Re: Strega is officially for sale!
I think AAFO should buy it or be the corporate sponsor. HANGERTALK painted on the sides.
With all the knowledge on this board, plus all the expert "backseat" racers/mechanics we should have a very competitive racer.
Only drawback will be that since we own it - no more drama from #7 threads

Re: Strega is officially for sale!
The ad makes it seem like either you're going to sponsor it, or you're going to buy it and race it. I really doubt Tiger will let it go to someone who won't race his pride and joy. Was Buccarelli the person who sold PM to Thom? If so, Buccarelli knew that Thom was going to pursue a gold title in her and look where PM is now. One of the best and most fun racing teams we have ever seen. Keep your hopes up guys, there has to be one person out of the 7 billion or whatever in this world that will take Strega just as Thom did PM and continue racing her. Stay hopeful, it will turn out okReno from '99 to '22

Re: Strega is officially for sale!
I heard conflicting reports abot a sponsor this year......some say it was John Travolta and others said Tom Cruise...does anyone know? Perhaps this years sponsor will get behind Strega with Matt at the controls for future showings.

Re: Strega is officially for sale!
I heard from a reliable source that Tom C. gave $150,000 so she could appear this year.....It would be nice if Harrison Ford or a certain ex- Microsoft executive would pony up a few bucks to keep such a historic event alive and well. It is sad but possible that perhaps even I give more bucks to keep this event going than either of those two and other really wealthy aviation types do.

Re: Strega is officially for sale!
If, there was, indeed, a benefactor.. a portion of any agreement which may have happened, probably had a clause regarding confidentiality...
At least, that's the way it was put to me...
That said.... Anything that we hear from, anywhere is, probably, purely conjecture.
I doubt true details for public consumption will become forthcoming..
But, ya never know...Wayne Sagar
