Hey.... John, how bout we close up the front cockpit, make a custom canopy, petition Tom Dwelle to let us use the paint scheme and we make a twin winger Critical Mass x2????
Not sure where you're getting this "Single Digit Race #s" stuff. I was given a list of #s that were available and I took the one that I wanted. I don't believe it had anything to do with my cleavage or XX Chromosomes.
Cleavage and XX Chromosomes, Sorry Chris this is the combination it takes to get numbers in the mid 30's to mid 40's and once the numbers get too big you don't fit well.
Taking your comments one at a time..
The only time an S2A "raced" at Reno was in 2000 to fill the field. Denny Brown flew his and was "Moved to last place money and trophy as per class rules" because he was just filling the field - as per class rules...
S1Ts were allowed around the same time - as long as they used fixed props AND as long as the engines are stock.

I see that you did race two years in your S1C. Been a while.
My previous is an accurate portrayal.
It's hard to understand what you don't understand.
I raced a C in '98 and a D in '99, same race number. I don't intend to return to biplane racing, thanks.
Chris...
During years where there weren't very many girls flying bone stock S-1's in the biplane class, the field was often a couple short. Then S-1T's and S-2A's (both have angle valve 360's with constant speed props) were allowed as fill-in's.
Then some chick got Stubbs and Brown allowed the S-1T's if they had a fixed pitch prop.
Then they gave all of the girls single digit race numbers that were never available before...but...er, I digress.
In years where there aren't enough airplanes to fill the field, S-2's are allowed, but it'd be a stretch to allow an S-2B. It'd sure be fun to have Lyle as a PRS instructor in his S2B, though.
