A New Kid in Town...

Reno, that is. A very young pilot with a very big name (and a very fancy trainer!) debuted on the Reno race course this summer. He looked really good out there, and certainly seemed to be having a very good time...

A name similar to his dad's maybe?

Neal,
Very NICE work, looks like the little field trip to the other pylon paid off.

Yes indeed -- I'm about the only photographer who really likes Pylon 5. I don't know why...

I'm really torn about this year's races. I'd really like to see a Mustang win... it'd be neat to see the rookie win, but with Rare Bear being owned by Lewis from here in town, I'd really like to see them win. I can't believe I'm typing such heresy. Mustangs forever.

His dad is the highest time current P-38 pilot.
Neal great shots and also on aafo! Is there any way that race crew can make it out to a pylon at least once during the show? I crew on 13, 14 & 105, and would love to get to a pylon once in my life! Thanks.

But is that young man old enough to race this year? If he is, I think a few of the "old" guys are going to have to work a lot harder. 
I think it would be great if a Sea Fury won this year!

From what I hear young Stevo does turn 21 in August, and so could legally race. I don't expect to see him in Strega at Reno 2008 -- Tiger says one more year for him and then they'll see.
A stocker would make more sense as a way to learn to race.
Don't forget that his Dad won the Gold in his second Reno (I think) when he was 27 or so.
