Has anyone heard the results from Reno yet? Seems none of the usual racing sites have been updated yet. Had a very cool message on my answering machine today from a friend who was there... you could hear the unlimiteds in the background! Thanks Mike, way to rub it in!!! :D Hoping the Mustangs did well... Jim

The latest I've heard is the Unlimited Gold was run early due to weather concearns. Skip Holm in Dago Red came in about 1.5 seconds ahead of John Penny in Rare Bear, however Skip incured a 12 second penalty for cutting a pylon making John Penny the gold winner. I haven't heard any other news, or if Dago was even second, that depends on how far back Mike Brown was in September Fury.

They are saying that if Mike Brown would have been a few seconds faster, Dago Red would have been third................

Cheers,

Or if that pylon hadn't been cut... I guess Dago might have been in first.

I still think Mustangs are better... :wink:

Of course you are correct, Ryan!

Mustangs are DEFINITELY better at:

1) overheating

2) leaking glycol

3) throwing rods


All in jest...round rules! :wink:
