    Re: ghost is in the silver!

    After winning today's bronze heat, Jimmy landed the Ghost on RWY 8 instead with of 14 as directed by race control (he did not call a mayday). He rolled out and then shut down immediately, coasting on to the taxi way. They towed 177 back to the pits. The announcers stated that the boil-off system was good for about an hour of flight. The plane looked clean. Any info on what happened?

      Crew member told me Jimmy saw an indication he didn't like and quickly landed / shut down as a precautionary measure. At the time we spoke they were sure it was a false indication but are hellbent on making it to Sunday so he did the most prudent thing. No further detail on what the indication was.

      Red Bull has no earthly idea what "air racing" is.
