No matter what the haters say, you guys brought an excitement and determination to this years races I have not seen in years! The feeling we got when heading home in disappointment that PM had not made it, then hearing Thom call in...we broke several speed limits racing back to the field.
Thanks to every one of you!
Next year it will be a 20-45 minute flight to Stead just like most of the other unlimited's have.
Not sure how I feel about this. Reading between the lines, this means more potential speed at the expense of range/XC ability. I think we all love the fact that PM flies from Kissimmee, races, then flies home. There would be no bigger "trophy" for PM than flying to the races, WINNING, then flying back to FL. It's like having a daily driver that goes to the track and beats purpose built race cars- it just doesn't get any better than that
As far as "being prepared", I think the team was "prepared enough" since they made all the races, never broke (during a race), and flew home
OK... I sat back and let the Strega canopy thread drift to a completely different topic, just now, I deleted a post which was going to drag same topic into this thread..
Please, I don't like to be an Nazi because I think it's healthy to allow topics to go where they go... pretty much.. but, again.... I deleted this one, partly because it was NOT humorous in my mind and second... see above...
