        I heard Bear had carburator problems. 475 is fast but trophy not on shelf yet. Sounds good though.

          Hey guys.. 475, first time on the course since '99 and that's a speed she can pull out all day long..

          Don't go counting "THE BEAR" out too soon..

          475 out of the box.. I'd say.. not too bad.

              475, these days that ought to be a solid 3rd place!!! Behind Dago and September Fury. :-)

              Dago looks unbeatable if it keeps running. September Fury, while a relative newcomer, looks really well prepared by some very talented wrenches.

              Should be a great race!

                    Good one Bill... I did not have that view for the 475 lap (and, by the way.. from what I gather, the airplane was NOT breaking a sweat to do that speed) I'm sure the crew will appreciate knowing that there's a wee bit more adjustment needed there..

                    And also... we all now know that the bird was doing 475 with her "brakes" on...
