    John's gonna kill me for saying anything but as he lays in a hospital in Reno getting his back "fixed"... he's sent out the update for the BTII site...

    "Thunderstorm 2009” was another success. The menu included an 80 pound pig, called Nancy Pelosi ...
    Would anyone disagree that air racing is better for your health -- or at least less hazardous to it -- than is Congress?

      Who are you going to call???

      Few teams that have raced at Reno, either during the races or just after, have not had a mechanical problem over the years that they were not prepared to solve. When that happened, inevitably, one of the men they turned to was John Parker. John has been the guru, the problem solver that many went to. He has given freely of his time, his knowledge, his experience, and equipment to help many of us to get 'back on our feet', allowing the races to continue or the flight back home to happen.
      If there is a definition of 'sportsmenship', John Parker would be found in the dictionary.
      To take the devastating loss of Blue Thunder, and respond with an unbelievable 2 year effort to create Blue Thunder 2, and enter the Super Sport Class at Reno 09, could only be described as 'outstanding'. few people could achieve this. John Parker did, and at speeds that a few years ago would have won the Gold!!
      We all wish him a 'SPEEDY' recovery and look forward to John and Blue Thunder 2 at Reno 2010.
      Best Wishes.

        Jan and John ARE a 'Class ' act themselves. They give 120% of their resources and themselves every year. We have been made SO welcome and warm each year. This year especially bringing a new format to Reno. Their team are not only great wrenches but great cooks to the nightly dinners. Jan and John, I wish to send a great heartfelt thanks to you both. Mike
