    Hope you don't mind if I add to this old thread, but I found some photos of Stilletto I thought you might like.

      I forgot to indicate the dates of the above photos. Bare metal from 1984, Red/white 1987.

            Shawn, you are right. I believe the close-up ground shots are taken at Bakersfield. Dan

                  I believe it's running the prop Cloud Dancer had in '07.

                    The second pic of Stiletto and the stills of GG resemble the same prop...

                        As my first Reno was 1986, did Skip reduce power after Rick mayday'd out in '84?
                        We were on the radio with Skip every moment of the race. Stiletto and Dago were so far ahead of the pack that the minute Rick blew up Skip reduced power gradually over the remaining laps. We had a aftercooler leak issue and were glad Rick pulled first.

                              I was 11. Just down the VOS from 6 about a mile. Good 'ol barbed wire fence.

                                Such an awesome pic. Down the chute!

                                I loved that thing. It was the coolest aircraft around as far as I was concerned.

                                Thanks!
