                See... this is what chaps my @$$ about the "virtual" course change. This is still not faster than the Bear's qualifying run in 1996, so... NOT the record.

                Other than that... fantastic!

                    Bear in mind, the 485 by Voodoo and the 499 by Strega were clocked while the temps in Reno were still a relatively cool 70 degrees
                    The better warmer weather is still coming.

                      Strega's motors are being built by Mike Nixon's Vintage V-12s in Tehachapi, CA......last I heard.

                          Just spoke to somebody on the ramp who said Ghost came in last night.
                          Apply 50% probability to that...

                            The ghost snuck in this morning just before the biplane qual session.

                              Bear 479, voodoo 485, Strega 499.

                              I just became full on retarded at work. Hitting the road in 25 hours.

                              I have a feeling we are going to see something really special this year.
