Is in Reno for Pylon Racing School! As well as Precious Metal. Great to see a new plane on the ramp and one that has been missing for a few years.

Any idea as to what ever happened to this Bear?

It's still being raced. Belongs to Rod Lewis now and is based in Reno. Hopefully with most of the old crew back they can be more competitive this year.

They're going to race the Blue Angel Bearcat at Reno? Sigh. I used to be a Reno fan when I was a teenager, but now.......
