If I won The Lotto?

[Desertdawg]

Easy, I'd sponsor the Reno Air Races

1 - All prize money would be upped to $1,000,000.00 +

2 - We'd up the show money for displays.

3 - Bring back trophy babes

4 - Have pin-up girl contests and photoshoots

5 - Section 3 would get padded seats with armrest and cup holders, free beer and chicken wings served by Hooters all week long

6 - Bring back Valerie and crew back w/raises

7 - Give Mike Houghton a raise

8 - Build a National Air Race Museum in Stead

9 - Build a hi tech air racing facility with individual shop/hangers so teams could keep their planes here

10 - more ideas

I would finally complete Double Threat

I would buy Dago, Furias and Miss Merced. Then I would ask Skip Holm, John Penny and Will Whiteside to fly them.

Re: If I won The Lotto?

+1 on all your great ideas Dog.

I would,

1. Buy and re-build Dago into the fastest prop plane in the world.

2. Buy back race 13 from them dirty European plane stealers. Restore it back to look like White Lightning, and hire Steve Hinton to re-create Lefty's aerobatic routine. All this for some quality between the races entertainment.

3. Buy back the current airframes that were Stiletto and Critical Mass. Tear all that stock sh+t off 'em and turn 'em back into racers.

4. Fix Furius and give her to Matt.

5. Buy a super race engine and give it to doc so he can run Miss A. like she should be.

And don't say how impractical this would be, 'cause I don't care, bitch. I just won the lottery, and you didn't.

I agree on all of them esp numbers 3 and 5

Oh id also hire the company who did the graphics for the americas cup for the races, put big screens up in the pits with live feeds showing the race graphics and live stream the races all week in 4K so those big shiny new tvs actually have something decent to watch on them

Re: If I won The Lotto?

One plane would show up with precise engine management, a billet block, and a better gearcase ratio which would be then be copied by some others the next year.
