Before everybody gets to excited the Bear won't be moving to Texas any time soon. It is going to stay in Reno with more support from the new owner. Hope to see it back in the winners circle next year.

Also Critical Mass is being returned to stock and the engine from the racing version is apparently being sold to the new owner of Rare Bear. Wish them both the best of luck!

I like this page on Rare Bear's site... it is where they compare the set up to the stock set up... I really like the Armament comparison! :D

Yes, the F8F-2 had 4 20mm cannon and so did the F8F-1B. I believe the F8F-1A had 6, .50 caliber Browning machine guns.
