Trust me, to the parties involved, ON BOTH SIDES, this ain't no laughing matter. Emotions are still pretty raw all around and again, comments from us railbirds or, as I like to call it.. "dog piling" just don't do anyone any good...
Like I've asked in the past on this one, please, let the players play out the drama without comments from the gallery.

I, for one, think that TRUTH is just about the most important thing in the world. Go ahead and write the history of Air Racing according to Brad Haskin regarding this chapter too Brad.. You've gotten other chapters wrong as well in the past.
Originally posted by Big_Jim View PostAnd Wayne, while I understand you have ties to the players, if this were any other sacred cow you would either delete it or tell us to take it off-site and hash it out in private. I think that is the primary reason that us 'railbirds' keep raising the flag. It's a double-standard that you keep using your webmaster powers to foster. If you want the masses to understand why you think it's a good idea to let the issue be played out in public, maybe you could enlighten us on your perspective? Please?
The only thing that my "ties" to the players afforded me was a front row seat with both sides of the issue.. or, should I say, three sides of the issue? There's another player who has a personal interest in "tying" himself in with the "other" side... that threw his view into this mess and further muddied the water.. I only happen to own the place where the discussions were being made public and so, was approached by all involved... only one, he knows who he is, tried to scare me with the potential legal repercussions involved with allowing the story to be told on the site..
So yea, Brad, you got the story right, once again.. you got the inside line, you got the info, now paint the picture, write the history.... according to... you..
I've already explained more to you than I even come close to owing you...

Re: Why did Strega's canopy break?
Hey,
Lets move on to the real drama. Fixing the broken thing and having it in the air friday morning around 7AM! I am not even going to think about the crap I would get if I misquoted the time it lifted off the ground! Lets see, what about when the gear doors closed?
A lot of the BS on this site would go away if the crews just went home everytime something went wrong.
There is an old saying about people who make major issues out of minor issues.
I personaly like the one "those that can do and those that can't hire out as critics".
How about we all get together next September and do it all over again. If nothing goes wrong with either 7 or 5 we will have a race and a winner and the "first looser" (thanks to Matt's son for that term). Then some of you can do a repeat of all the above.
Or Not

Strega getting back into the mix after the canopy break, the hard work I know it took, the drama, was one of the highlights of the races.
