Re: PM and Strega showdown
In a way, we have a gold race in the silver race. I'm pretty sure both Strega and PM will run away from the rest of the field. The question becomes how hard are they going to push? If 2nd place sets the pace, with two gold contenders in the silver, are we going to see crazy speeds between these two as they battle it out for a better starting place on Sunday? Are we going to see one or both of these guys show their hands early? PM has more time on the motor, but did have an issue. Strega has a fresh motor, but is Tiger willing to push it hard with so little time on it? Do we have the makings for the fastest silver race ever? This might be interesting.

I have gathered from what I've read, that PM is set up so that the props are most efficient at an RPM that isn't working the engine overly hard -much like Tsunami was. I have no idea whether that's the case or not though?
If it is the case, I think Thom will be more likely to go for the win today knowing that it's going to wear down Strega's engine more than his.

86 is going to win on Sunday.
GO PM! I think its time to see a Griffon on the podium. Its high time for one to be eating magicians, yaks, bears and corncobs.

Re: PM and Strega showdown
Forgive my ignorance, but why is Tiger on the pole for the upcoming Silver race? I though that when you bumped in from a lower category you started at the bottom?
Seems like a smart move given his speed, but just wondered what the rationale was.

Re: PM and Strega showdown
I read something interesting on the Strega FB page. I have no clue how valid it is but this is a cut and paste, I have no clue who this Carol Suzanne Butler person is...
"Carol Suzanne Butler: Chris, PM just had something big like a motor come in from Fl today. Hmmm, no sleep tonight!"
Since PMs censored areas have been uncovered, looking at my pics from last year of the same areas, I don't see a single difference between them. It looks like the same motor. Do we have a case of misdirection going on? Anyone see a Griffon sized crate being hauled through the pits at some point today or late yesterday? I know they got a carb flown out, but that isn't big enough to be mistaken as a motor. Strega got their motor, perhaps that is what was seen. Who knows.
I'd go investigate in person, but I won't be up there till tomorrow. I don't really wish to propagate a false rumor here. I also haven't seen any reference anywhere else of this package either.
