          It really is good news, indeed! I don't have any "insight" as to what the final makeup of the team will be, but this certainly is a good start!

          Not to throw dates at anyone but these two guys have "history" with the airplane to be sure!

          Whomever gets the nod for the crew roster will be working with some of the best of the best...

            Is it still known as "The Lyle Shelton Rare Bear Race Team"?

            And if so , was the connection not completely severed?

                Great choice for the team. This is going to be a very busy and exciting year for the Rare Bear.

                Look out, "The Bear" is back and she is bad a** again.

                  What will the Merlin men do to get back in the game?

                    IMO, they were a lot closer than their results showed this year. Take away one bad ADI valve and one bad decision not to change some fouled plugs, and you'd have had three fast Mustangs in the final, one of which was my pre-game pick to win it all (Dago Red).

                    Did we ever hear exactly what was wrong with Strega in the final? I mean in more detail than "it was running like dog sh**."

                      "Santa has a sleigh full of toys for the elves in Bearcatland already this Christmas! Along with some special packages to be seen by all, some packages to be seen by some, and some packages to be rumoured about and seen by none. I see Christmas as good in Rare Bear land"

                      Well it's december 23rd, and it looks like we got to open one of those packages early.

                        DOUBLE WHAMMY!!!! Not only does bringing Dave Cornell back into the Rare Bear 'fold', but it TAKES Dave Cornell away from one Tiger Bill's team.

                        Dave was one of the key players in bringing Da Bear to it's most competitive phase back in the '87-91 time period...and with the financing Rod Lewis is bringing to the table, I'd say a few more MPH was just added to old #77.

                        They're only ONE pilot away from being right in the thick of things again. Not gonna name names, but it's only a hop, ____, and a jump away!

                          In either case, as long as it's not a clatter & shatter!

                            The following is IIRC (it's been a whole 4 months or something, lol):
                            Partial head gasket failure allowing coolant into a single cylinder (back left as evidenced by the photos). Tiger felt the problem developing for a lap or two and tried to stay down on the course as long as possible. As the vibration worsened, he said screw it. It wouldn't take much more than 100 inches I think they said.
