Stay tuned, Ober. I don't have an old Buick, but I do have a pretty neat tow vehicle that I'm working on as we speak. ;-)

That might not be too far out of the realm. We could use it as a way to get Mr. Lacey to join the rest of the gang in a few laps around the pylons. :)

I just thought I'd let y'all know that my dreams of doing anymore racing are over. I have a situation that will not allow me to obtain another medical (at least for the forseeable future) and I will no longer be flying. As a result, I will be selling Another Solution and anything else I have aviation related. Thanks to everyone who showed so much interest in this project and especially to those who've helped morally and monetarily. If you wish, I will be happy to reimburse each of you your sponsorship money.

Thank you Eric.

I forgot to mention in that post that I am NOT looking for sympathy. I just felt it was fair to everyone that was keeping up with this project to know the news.

Thanks again,
Gary

Sorry to hear that Gary.

Why don't you keep it, finish it up, and then get someone to fly it for you? :)

Also, I know you couldn't fly it at Reno, but wouldn't the plane qualify as Sport Class? ;)
