Re: Race 74 Reno '11 ??

Race5, my money is on you I took a tour of the Eagles Nest in March and noticed the 4360 cowl mold laying right next to Sept. Fury.

You working the Races again this year? You let me when you want to come over to the dark side. See you in a few weeks

Will be there for sure. Not quite time for the dark side yet. There is a bit of unfinished work to do on the crew side.

Dread doesn't have a composite cowl does it? I thought the Cowl mold was from Daryl Greenamyers's Shockwave project and they were seeing it it could be made to work on Furias. I could be completely wrong on that though. With all the nice composite pieces Andy already built for furias, I could see more composite parts being made for it over the years.

Cowling mold was from Dreadnought and Sept. Fury was parked in a different hangar. Wishful thinking i guess.

Too bad. That got my heart going for sure. The thought of three 4360 powered Sea Furys is enough to get anyones ticker pumpin'!

I just hope to see Furias there. Awful quiet on that front.

Re: Race 74 Reno '11 ??

Um...perhaps because it was sitting in the same hangar as Furias? :-)

What I've heard is that it is having a stock -3350 hung on it.

Has anyone heard what Powerplant Sept. Fury will be running? I noticed a 4360 cowling mold sitting right next to Sept. Fury while it was hangared in Ione, Ca.

#74 would have been a highlight of the Show, but let's hope the damage is minimal.

Heh, wouldn't THAT be something.

Thanks Tim. I was hoping that just this once they would find a "quick fix" and be able to make it to Reno. I knew I was hoping against hope but that's part of the fun during the build up to Reno. Maybe next year.

Re: Race 74 Reno '11 ??

Anyone heard anything new on Race 74? I don't think there is much that is cooler than seeing the Super Corsair profile coming around pylons 7, 8 and 9.
