I still want to read Tigers view of the 2014 Saturday Gold Unlimited Race where he was chasing Steve in Voodoo and then dove for the finish line at the last moment and almost passed him at the last second. Does anyone have any links to this story?

Here is the finish at 6:45 on the LiveAirShowTV youtube channel and they show the finish numerous times in slow motion.

Did Tiger blow up/damage the motor in the last lap so even if he did win, there was no chance he could have raced on Sunday?

If you do a bit of searching, there is much on this topic that you can cover. In the end, though, you can only rely on your personal experiences and what a given pilot is telling you..

Oh lordie I hope I can go another year with those people who call the races, while they search for words. Sam Wright where are you. They need some help at Reno.

Well, according to my calculations..... given camera angle, density altitude, wind speed and direction, as well as applying the standard acceleration quotient given all the G forces, drag, and slip-stream effect.... it's pretty darn apparent that it was TIGER who won

Tiger did a nice write-up in the Air Classics coverage.

What is this "Air Classics" you speak of? It sounds so foreign to me.....

Damn, I don't know if I ever had a paper copy bud??? I'm pretty sure I still have the text that you sent me... Those two moments when I got to show the results to those two guys, and also let the folks in the stands know the "unofficial" results, Man oh man.. talk about a come through for you guy! Curtis that's you! If I never do another interview in my life, I can always look back to after the race on Saturday!

Quick answer though, I super doubt that I have a paper copy... they actually don't let me play with paper anymore.. first knives, then paper... who knew you could cut yourself with paper!
