Did I miss the memo that WIXers are not going to post any Reno or Breitling Cup info this year?

I'd like to see some as well. I am in the process of canceling room/car/flights/etc as my wife's mom isn't expected to make it through the weekend here. May have 2 week-long Pit-pass wrist bands available if my friend out there hasn't already sold them.

And we were talking about the qualifying on the WIX show last night on Warbird Radio!

I tried to get all the qualifying news off the RARA site last night and couldn't get anything current.

Looks like Galloping Ghost was back on the course today. Only ran 339 mph average...reports are that he ran a 409 on the last lap!

The race might have ended before it finished the last lap. I don't recall it saying it DNF so it didn't pull out.

Ghost seems to be racing their way into higher brackets?
Won the Bronze heat today @ 364 mph (not fast but better every day? )

Here Kitty F7F wins Silver heat race. @ 371 mph

And Strega runs away with the Gold heat 2A @ 465 mph with Bear gaining 2nd...Voodoo cut a pylon...


What happened to Six Cat in the T-6 Class? Showing DNF for today....
