DRMULL and RACE29,

Thanks for picture and replies. Lighter and better brakes makes good sense. I guess I just never noticed them before.

Re: Sunday Sept 12, Early Reports

I could be wrong here, but I think the wheels on Voodoo are from a King Air. There definatly not stock, but i'm not 100% on what airplane they're from. I seem to remember reading that this was a modification that Tiger had come up with. The wheels are lighter, better brakes, and better tire availability. Strega has them as well as Huntress if I'm not mistaken.

Re: Sunday Sept 12, Early Reports

Are there any no-shows in the Unlimiteds this year? I heard that Holbrook Maslen's #88 Yak "Night Witch" is parked next to the Rare Bear pit as of Saturday afternoon. He was a late entry so with the other 27 entries on time he may not race unless there is a no show.

A couple come to mind (that I haven't seen the photos yet) from the RARA list below. Are Miracle Maker and Ole Yeller there?:

Re: Sunday Sept 12, Early Reports

Thanks for the pictures - keep them coming. I only wish I could be there in person.

What is the deal with the wheels/tires on Voodoo? They don't look like stock Mustang units, or am I seeing things? Is this something new or has she always had this tire/wheel combination?

Re: Sunday Sept 12, Early Reports

I got a little Kodak Easy Share CX6330 for my birthday. I doubt it'll have the lens and shutter speed for planes that are flying but, I'm gonna try!

Hope to keep my blisters small and will have more pix later today.

As I am an amateur photog, I neglected to mention to anyone considering this........PLEASE respect the teams and myself by NOT trying to sell any of my images. They need the money and I only want them to be enjoyed, not profitted from. Damn sure the best screensavers I can offer!
