Here's NX878M/WG567 "Miss Merced" from Wisconsin, seen at Thunder Over Michigan the year a group of racers turned out and stole the show...Riff Raff was also there and that show was the only time I saw either Fury.

^ (side tracking) at that show per her request I took a few pictures of my wife's sister standing next to this Sea Fury, and a bunch of other photogs started taking her picture also, gave her quite a complex later as to what they would do with the pictures. Oops.

Due to threat of life, I'm unable to do that (now if someone else did it, short skirt, shirt laced up front, heels and long brunette hair, I should be able to avoid prosecution :wink: )

That is art!
Mike Nixon must have a large pool of craftsmen.
I'd love to know how many engines and which type they can handle per year. Really impressive.

Looking forward to the reunion pop2
