A bit of news about the days events, unlimiteds

[Bob]

A friend is already there, called me with a round-up on the day.
Dago sounds awsome and was fast.
Sept Fury Sounds better than ever, ie: Awsome and fast.
Strega and VooDoo had motor issues. Strega landed under its own power, voodoo dont know for sure.
I will be posting from my BB starting tuesday for all you race fans that cant make it.

Chances are that Bear will not fly till tomorrow. The ignition system was replaced today...back to old school. And though the Bear ran yesterday, the were some stability issues, plus there had been several backfires, and it was felt it would be better to go back to old ignition. Expect engine runs tonight, and I expect to see a flying Bear tomorrow.

Dago Red looked and sounded really sweet, and really fast.

From a VooDoo crewmember.

"it's an engine... good news, we have an engine" from Bob Button.. "I take full responsibility... I allowed it to be leaned on too hard, too early"

From Will Whiteside, "It felt good, like a turbine, realy smooth. Button called me on the radio and said 'give it all she's got'"

End result.. the purple racer burned down a piston and will finish the week on a ferry motor...

REALLY quality people, Will is an awesome stick, Button, an awesome pilot/owner. Looks like Will will finish the week flying "SteadFast"...

Look for a lot more from this combination in years to come!

Hmmm, Strega with an "engine problem" early on, ... Pretty sure I have heard that line before!

I talk with my husband, who is on Tiger's crew, every few hours and Strega is not having engine problems! Tiger flew for 30-40 minutes Sunday and was very happy with how smooth it ran. Check Stevo's blog on airshowbuzz.com each evening to find out what went on in Stega's pits each day.
I can't wait to get there Wednesday!

Thanks for setting us straight. It didn't look or sound as if anything was wrong, but then again, I'm no expert.

Re: Vodoo's motor...
Other reports state that the pink motor (another race motor) will go in and the burnt motor (green) may be repaired in time for race weekend.

When ya go out there you HAVE to check out Button's "hanger" over Voodoo. Real cool (and expensive looking and nuclear hardened) take on the original EZ Up...
And on his arrival, Steadfast sounded Meeeeeeaaaaannnn!

Re: A bit of news about the days events, unlimiteds

The new engine is on VooDoo, when I last walked by they were still working on getting the prop on and everything hooked up. Which engine is it? You'll have to wait till someone more knowledgeable comes along that answer that question.
