  • The Heyday

    More old pics from 82.
    Super Corsair in it's usual start-up smoke screen mode...
    Dago in the best scheme she ever wore IMHO.
    It is silly to think they were "the good old days" since so many great years have happened, but for me it was all still a bit new and the side stories good.

    Thank you for the photos. I agree with your comment about Dago Red's paint scheme.

      Nice pictures. The 80s were the best decade for unlimited air racing in my opinion - just a lot of racers then with new ones being built and raced. It was fun to show up and see new racers in the Pits almost every year.

            That was before they converted it to Griffon-power, right?

                  I don't even bother to try to explain that situation anymore. LMAO.

                    I am just amazed at how many 'reputable' resources still mix the two airframes up.

                      I thought 82 was a good year (aside from the rain); Dago all new and spify in the paint job......my fav. and Regina's "Shangra-La". Nice photos; thanks.
