Hello all,
For me going to the Reno Air Races for the first time was Quite exciting.However, the highlight had to be the unlimited gold race on friday sept 12.Although both Skip Holm flying Dago Red and John Penney flying Rare Bear both claimed that they werent going to over stress their engines before sunday's final, things didnt quite work out that way.When Rare Bear shot out into the lead,Skip Holm obviously firewalled the throttle and the race was on!It was claimed that 500+ mph was achieved during this race for the first time(which is in dispute)however fast it was,they were haulin!it was a better race than the sunday final.(rare bear broke something)it was quite a rush. Tim.
Ps. obviously Mr.Holm hates to be second!
