  • Danny Martin Returns!??

    Just got a pretty reliable report from the field that Danny Martin will return this year. No word on which plane or even which class he'll race in but if true, what a cool thing this will be!!

    Dan is going to re-qualify as back up pilot for Sal Rubino in "Grim Reaper".

        This was posted about a year ago, on another forum.

          Who is TD? Reminds me of some of the music forums I'm on , which become difficult to follow as the songs and albums become tyirr, YKOM , Ddttee, etc. 😡

            I would guess that TD is Tiger Destefani.

                You might want to think about getting some of that stuff that helps us seniors with our memories, but I forget what it's called.

                      Red Bull stimulates the brain. I find the boost only lasts around 20 minutes. Popped a can after getting my butt kicked riding dirt bike. Friends noticed I was riding like a banshee right up until I landed face first in a mud puddle. Estimate that was at the 20 minute mark!

                        Mrs. Race 29 and I drove past Dan Marten's hanger at the Hollister airport last weekend on our way to Monterey. There was a Mustang being worked on, but it didn't look like Grim Reaper. This one was all red with a white and yellow stripe down the side...........I KEED, I KEED!!!

                        Seriously, This Mustang was polished, but I didn't see any other colors. Might have been Grim Reaper, it just didn't look like it to me. Of course I was in a (slowly) moving vehical!

                          I'm sure someone knows better, but it might be N35FF that platinum sold on February 4th. They had a note to look for it to return to the air races and someone commented about it being the old Risky Business. I also thought I read somewhere Matt Jackson had restored this plane as well......Anyone feel free to correct me as I'm way less educated on the subject than most people here!

                            Mike Brown is the new owner. It is the former "risky Business"

                              Yes as Race 5 said, sold to Mike Brown and he intends to race it. It's most likely stored in Carson City, NV where he is based. And yes you are correct, Matt restored it at Classic Air Works (his facility) in Van Nuys, CA. I have some pictures of her when Matt brought her home and was still painted up as Risky Business, still can't figure out how to post on here though
