Thanks for all the support folks!
We worked our butts off trying to make "Euroburner" as fast as possible - 12 and 14 hour days. Played with the CG and some other "tricks" to squeeze every last drop of speed out of her. Although we still took second, it was a thrill to have that lead in the gold for only that brief time.
OK guys - I feel terrible. I was only able to take 3 pictures while there. The other one is in the post about the Thunder Mustang crash. Here's the other two

You got that right Eric!
BTW - my "replacement" John Hammods did a bang up job running the show. He was the crew chief on Brad Morehouse's plane when we lost him back in 07'. I was glad he took this job and came back a winner. He's a class act and kept my name on the right side of the aircraft. On Mike's program I was the "Assistant" Crew Chief.
