Re: RACE 13 LIGHTING

Wow, wait, back up the truck.... So there are 2 P38s there? They got White Lightning done in time for the races? Last I saw they were a long way from flying. If this is true, thats a pretty good qualifying speed for a basically stock P38. I need to see pictures of this. I think someone is pulling our legs here.

Re: RACE 13 LIGHTING

That's nothing, a certain red fury unofficially became the first piston aircraft to exceed mach 1 in level flight today. Those turns must have been like 8 G's!

I heard the boom all the way in truckee.

Race 13 is Howard's Sea Fury btw, not White Lightning. Nelson is drivng, and did qualify it today. Oh and that boom you heard during 232's qual lap was the aircraft crapping itself in anticipation of Bear's upcoming lap.

Re: RACE 13 LIGHTING

I knew it was to good to be true! Earlier the RARA site was showing Nelson flying p38L, Lightning but now they don't even show a list of the entries. Thanks RARA.
So now I'm waiting for team Sani-hut with their P82 and unknown ace pilot (Ben Dover) to set fastest qualifying time of the week.

Re: RACE 13 LIGHTING

Careful, that Ben Dover guy is pretty crafty. He was a major player in the buying of titanium from the Russians for a certain very fast spy plane back in the 60s. The company's logo just happens to be a skunk.

I heard Sani-hut brought in a ringer by the name of whof arted.

Suposidly Whof arted has introduced the team to a new type of fuel, to be used along with the nitro system.

A green Sea Fury from Breckenridge has been wearing the number "13" in addition to its own number ever since the P-38's accident. Its Howard's Fury, not the P-38.

Re: RACE 13 LIGHTING

I thought that the Sani-Hut team was only there to fly around and clean up after everyone crapped themselves watching the Bear qualify.

You sure that "boom" wasn't just Wayne passing gas???
