      Bad netiqute to reply to one's own message?? Oh well!

      I gotta think this could really change the mixup for the Gold.. Just assuming we have two healthy "Buicks" in the field, up close to the front.. say... middle of the pack.. If they happen to get out front of a few racers, they make themselve's pretty hard to bet by, just by the nature of the beasts..

      Man, front of the pack better not even hickup or the Buick force will be all over 'em!

      TWO R-4360's battling with several R-3350's and RR Merlins...

      Oh.. the sound...

                And if Odegaard in the F2G is around, I think you will have all the currently flying 4360s at the same place at the same time. I'm hopeful he will be there and at some point we can have 3 4360s in the air together.

                  Great news about Furias. The Buick as well as Czechmate are my favorite unlimiteds, so it would be superb to see Furias mixing it up with them. Question: given the cockpit mods to two-seater mode, it is reasonable to expect Furias to top 430+mph on Sunday afternoon?

                        Longer is better...........................CHIC'S DIG THE LONG CANOPY!!!!!!!!!

                        Another corncob for the fold. There are some vacant holes in the entry list and the possible addition of Furias will make the field a little more interesting. The gold field is really going to be bunched up from fifth place on back.

                          OH YEA..... (in deepest "big voice guy" voice) Though Bill could not tell me of pilot choice, he might have said..... err...... something to the effect that..... damn...... maybe... if Skip did actually fly Furias, we'd probably see some of the best lap speeds ever from the airframe....

                          Now...
