Re: Strega won
I just saw on RARA's website that Tiger was in fact disqualified (still unofficial). I know the rules have to be followed, but I didn't think he was THAT high, and I'm a Voodoo fan! Just my opinion. At least it was a GREAT race, and everyone is on the ground safe!

Re: Strega won
I believe that there was an appeal process put in place as a result of the stalemate and near strike of the unlimited class last year. Not sure if that might play into things here.
Regardless, what a race! Just wish I had seen it live. I'm eternally grateful to have liveairshowtv, was glued to my phone that whole race.Last edited by omalley1537; 09-13-2014, 06:48 PM.

Re: Strega won
Does anyone know why Tiger maydayed and landed basically deadstick? Is he out or just a heat issue or some such?
BTW BEST finish to a race I have seen in 38 years! I wondered if he got too high on the back, and if he could get low enough bu 8, but, WOW!Last edited by Leo; 09-13-2014, 07:40 PM.

Re: Strega won
Tiger said Strega running rough just after the finish, maydayed to a very quick landing, not deadstick, though, still had power.
He said he had plenty left on the last lap and just kept moving up, not pushing that hard he felt. Fast landing without cooldown may have blown something in the cooling system, engine wound up full of water. But the original roughness might have been burned piston according to crew. The weren't sure yet as of ~ 7 pm. Didn't look good for Sunday...

Re: Strega won
Watching the Strega Facebook page, sounds like they just took her out for a run-up. Back working on her. Sounds like they might be racing tomorrow.
Also, check out the photo posted with Strega a spinner ahead of Voodoo.
My heart starts beating again in September.
