So this was a pretty neat little video. Did anyone of y'all who were there get more footage? I heard that the TBM actually won the race.

Cool,
The TBM700 was a hotrod, the 850 is a neat addition.

Interesting note,
To get it into 850 mode (Increased HP) you move the flap lever forward.
The power lever stays the same, you move the flap lever to 850. :)

Not what I was expecting either. In a warbird forum "TBM" does not mean a TBM 850 turboprop. But it was supposed to be tongue in cheek I imagine.

Life is bliss.
