Where's the Bear??

Re: Where's the Bear??

Sparky would win of course...
But, yea, I would be there.

IF there was no Strega or Bear, some of the glitz would be gone but as stated here, the remaining "hot" racers would put on one he!! of a race!

PM, Dread, Furias and CM (assuming 232 is out too) duking it out for first? THAT I would pay to see!

Why would 232 be out???

Re: Where's the Bear??

Just an assumption that if Bear was retired, Lewis might retire from racing.

I don't think Bear is retiring. I think Rod is just trying a different direction with that program. Again. Even if it was retired I think 232 will be back. It might even become the "flag ship" of his racing operation.

Re: Where's the Bear??

Where did you guys get the info that these racers were retiring? I've heard no such thing....

Re: Where's the Bear??

Per this thread and earlier threads on speculation, there is no info, no rumors, just what-if's for fun.

If we're in the business of what-if's 'for fun', why not speculate that;

1. Dago's coming back '13.
2. Voodoo too!
3. Strega three!

Actually, this isn't that far fetched.

Re: Where's the Bear??

Point was, the retirement of Voodoo, Strega and any other heavy metal would not be the end of air racing. We'll find something to cheer about.
That's all.

Maybe Cub races are in the future!!........just think, a cub race around the big course. The stands would be packed for the start, as they come down the shoot and the Fiesler Storch pace plane pulls up and they head out to the north, people would then have time to visit that sani huts, stop by the vendors, go to the pits, and then regroup in the stands for the exciting finish of the one lap race......WOW.........

Imagine blistering down the valley of speed into a 25 knot headwind, watching rabbits pass them.

No more blurry pictures

And yes, between laps could go order a cheese burger, hit the sanihuts, get a beer and be back in section 3 without missing a lap.

I like that idea

Would this be a "spec" class full of stock J-3's, or would we see an "Unlimited Cub Class" full of clipped wing 150 HP Super Cubs and late model Carbon Cubs?

Re: Where's the Bear??

In order to allow enough time for the other classes to race, we better limit it to unlimited Cubs only.
I was also thinking, that it would have to be an early afternoon race. That way it would allow us enough time to form up going around Pevine, considering we all take off at sunrise.

Don't forget to close the door before the pace plane releases you down the chute.. It might go a little faster

Voodoo and Strega could theoretically show. Dago? No way in hell it could be ready even in stock form.

Dago coming back would be awesome (it would also be very unfortunate for the other racers), but what would Voodoo and Strega be coming back from?
