    I'm officially out of tickets and money for the year. I'll be riding the fence from here on out.

    Thursday was a really nice day. Beautiful weather great racing and not nearly too much airshow stuff. Perfect.

    First of all, Pete Z is making a fool of me. He flew excellent yesterday and is damn fast. Much like you Wayne, I like my crow fried. I might even have to eat some gizzards.

    Race 777 (not sure of the pilots name) is unsafe. He puts himself in bad possitions. He bailed out of one of the going into 6 and the bail out was sketchy. I appreciate a good decision to get out of a bad position but, he jumped right back into being a jack ass. C'mon man. I hope the other jet pilots take him in a back room and set him straight. It's BS from where I'm sitting. There's no place for it in this event.
    You'll get your chance, smart guy!

    Was 777 one of the L-39's that had the mid-air in PRS last year or the year before?

      Race 777 was, not sure if it was the same airframe though..? This years 777 might be a different plane

          I'm not sure, I think the other 777 was pilot based in Reno and the new 777 is Georgia. Larry Lee is his name and it does sound familiar. Not sure

            One thing I noticed about today's schedule is there's no Viper demo. I heard it is having problems but that shouldn't keep the whole demo away, just bring in another one maybe??

              Same pilot listed 2012 and 2015. Different N number, same race number.

                  And today's Gold podium is

                  1. Bear

                  2. Strega

                  3. Voodoo

                  Bear is looking good. I think we are in for a great race Sunday, everyone was throttled back today.

                    Anyone know what Hoot was up to after the race? Made a dive for the field with gear down going fast and then a go around?

                      Wanted to be safe with Bear still on the runway in front of him

                              Says for erratic flying now. I'm sure he was on a short leash after the mid air, but it's sorta surprising they let him race at all if you read the report.
