Czech Mate Great Race

[SkyvanDelta]

Smoot flew a great couple of races. His average for the Gold was a little over 455, not bad but almost 30 slower than Steve-o and Matt.

If Voodoo was flying at 480mph, and Czech Mate was flying at 450mph, how long in time and how many laps would it take for Voodoo to pass Czech Mate.

Not to take anything away from "The Giant Killer", but the little Yak was right where it should have been. Passing the Bear was more about a team falling on their face than any great feat by the other one passing...

Geez man, doesn't matter how it happened but it did and there's no taking that away from Smoot and the team. Those guys were in front of Dreadnaught all week which was an awesome achievement. Add taking on and passing the Bear (who has always been a favorite of mine) is just icing on the cake. Give some credit where credit due. No need to rain on anyone's parade. Go Team Czech Mate!

As has been mentioned in other posts, besides Hoot's awesome flying the first few laps in 232, Smoot and Czechmate were the highlight of the race! Just wish the announcers had realized what a big deal it was when Czechmate passed the Bear! Wake up guys!

No doubt. I was cheering and hooting along with everyone else on the fence when the pass happened right in front of us. It was a big deal. Even for us Bear fans!
