Well folks - I'm getting ready to head out. I'll arrive in Reno tonight and will start my week out working with a company at Stead who helped us with the plane. We have some surprises and I'll post pics as soon as I can.
This is bitter sweet for me - I have high hopes for our team this year but am facing this challenge without a team member from last year - my father in law.
I'm dedicating my participation in this year's races after his memory. Although he's gone, I'm sure he'll be there in spirit.
If any members make it out there, come look me up in the Jet Pits!

Well guys - an exciting first 2 days.
We're running good - so is our competition. One advantage we have this year - winglets - real suttle, but they are there. The 2 vipers are hitting course speeds over 520mph. There's even an L39 running close to us.
Tomorrow is more qualifying. I'm on dial up so I can't post pics yet. More to come!

PS - P-51A, Glacier Girl and an F7F all close by. Been hanging out with some Rarebear folks.

Kick some butt, Joe. I want to hear some good results. I wish I could be there to cheer Mike on, and of course, snap off some shots.
Good to hear it is going well so far. Best of luck!
