    He could race both. I doubt an A-26 would make the gold. Of course I never thought a Tigercat would either....

          I wonder if they could hang a pair of 4360's on the A-26? it should top 400 mph.

            I heard he did hang 4360's on the A-26, AND he added quad compound Overthrusters, AND he cut off the scoops!

              I thought that the B-25 and A-26 were a part of the list of airplanes not allowed due to the 3.5 G requirement. They were banned back in the 80's.
