How much money does it take to make the bear go fast?
Re: How much money does it take to make the bear go fast?
JUST A PENNY! HOW AMUSING! JOHN PENNY OR NOT,
THE ENGINE WAS AROUND $165,000.
THE PROP AROUND $65,000.
HUNDREDS OF HOURS OF LABOR BY DAVE CORNELL AND HIS
CHOSEN FEW AT $100 + PER HOUR, AND PHEW!!!
ALL TO PROVIDE US WITH 10 FULL MINUTES OF PRICELESS
ADRENILIZED MOTORSPORTS ENTERTAINMENT, AND THE
UNLIMITED GOLD WINNER GETS A WHOPPING $85,000.
THANK YOU ROD LEWIS, FOR BEING SO INVOLVED

SORRY GUYS. EVERY TIME I SAW SOMEONE GETTING IN OR OUT OF THE BEAR, IT WAS STU DAWSON.
AT ANY RATE, I HAVE NEVER HEARD THE ENGINE IN THE BEAR RUN CLEANER OR SMOOTHER.
GOOD LUCK BOYS. MERLINS ARE COMMING, AND IT'S 3 ON 1.

The NiCd batteries that the Bear has are worth about $10k each, and they have two (one onboard and one spare). Add the rest to this, and it sounds like "professional air racing" is just the ultimate expression of "mine's bigger".
