  • Hinton Jr. buys Dago

    ***SPOILER***

    So this thread.. let's all put some fantasy out there.. if you're like me, you often dream about Stead. What do you see in your deepest Reno fantasy?

    Here's my shortlist

    1.) Hinton Jr. buys Dago, and returns with corporate sponsorship

    2.) Lewis decides to put a crap-ton down on the Cornell/Jackson Racer, and pit it against a 2-3-2 in full race form again, with Dawson, Hoot, and then Penney taking helm of the Bear once more.

    3.) The Sanders Bro's bring a race-prepped Dreadnought with intent for Gold. (no laughing please). We all know #8 could do 470's on the course. Why not put a few more mods, a temporary Sept. canopy, and go for Gold?

    4.) Miss Merced and Furias return. Furias ready to race. Merced sporting lovely colors in the Silver.

    5.) Miss America returns as a super-stocker.

    6.) The Rebel go's retro, sporting similar engine and cooling mods that the Ridge Runner boys played with back in the day...

    7.) Diamond Back arrives with daily raffle tickets for rides during the Bronze heats.

    8.) Oh, did I mention the rest of the Lewis Warbird collect is on display in the pits? Along with daily warbird fly-by's and mock dog fights.

    9.) Heritage Invitational comes back, with display in the pits. All the boring GA and private charter display stuff moved to the far East of the field.

    10. ) Media access granted to runway 8 / 26 during Unlimited taxi and run-up.

    11.) Live-feed cameras on Unlimited course, pylon # 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8. As well as general coverage being broadcast back to those who didn't make it, via Velocity on Discovery.

    12.) 3km speed record attempts on Wednesday, with all Unlimited Gold contenders invited to make 4 passes with clocks and judges ready.

    13.) 'Doc' and 'Fifi' doing daily flights over downtown, selling rides, and escorted by Mustangs.

    14.) Every casino downtown offering complementary admission/pit-passes to their table game frequents.




    - Let's see your list

    Oh yeah...I like your thinking. To me, 3/4/5 seem do-able. Dreams? Tsunami and Stilleto back in the field.

        Re: Hinton Jr. buys Dago

        Man that is a click bait title!!! But I love this thread so much I'll let it slide, here's my thoughts.

        1.) Agreed, Steven in Dago, but Dago with a boil-off

        2.) Lewis buys the Cornell racer, puts Stew at the stick, keeps the Bear (as it should be this year with the full race ready engine) and puts Hoot at the stick.
        *Sells 232 to Mike Brown and Brown races it alongside Will Whiteside in Goldfinger as a super stocker

        3.) Dread with the mods definitely, maybe even do some work to Argonaut. Also field the F2G!

        4.) Woelbing's Fury race team, Furias race ready, Miss Merced maybe more 232-esque?

        5. and 6.) Couldn't agree more!

        7. - 14.) Amazing ideas, especially the Doc and Fifi one, that would be INCREDIBLE!!!!

        Then just a few of my own...

        15.) Precious back exactly how it was supposed to be in 2015 with even more refinements since they are practically starting from scratch.

        16.) Lewis fields at least one of his other stockers and races it himself (Patrona, Pistolera, Balls Out...)

        17.) Czech Mate modded to put down 490mph laps

        18.) MORE MORE MORE STOCKERS!!! SKYRAIDERS, THUNDERBOLTS, BEARCATS, SPITFIRES!!!

        There's so much more but thats it for now thanks for the thread my friend
        Reno from '99 to '22

          Ok Joseph, now you do have me laughing. The thing I fear the most is that Dreadnought will beat out an ailing Voodoo at a race speed of 442 mph. That would be TOOO retro, Is there any chance of getting Dwelle to bring out his Sea Fury? How about Leftys' Mustang; it used to be pretty fast. I'd love to see Fifi burning up the course again or an impromptu jet FIGHTER race, you know -no afterburners-right?

            There we go, thank you. The notion of having Fifi and Doc, and no four engine unlimited race, is totally unacceptable.

            Burners can be used in the jet race, but only between the start line and the finish line.
            No pixels were harmed, honest.

                Haven't heard how many classes. But I have heard that they will be on a figure eight race course, so the field will be pared down by Sunday.

                  Stevo racing Dago would be unbeatable, it would also be nice to see Lewis allowing the use of juice on RB again...

                    Oh my this would be absolutely awesome! Could this be possible(within safety guidelines)? like they do in the T6 races a secondary chase aircraft..
