| Each morning was a blur of activity as all the classes are either racing or preparing. It was hard to take everything in. Fortunately the camera makes sure I'll remember every moment. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| The "Thunder Mustang" is a 3/4 scale kit built. But it's not a toy! With a 650 hp Ryan Falconer V-12 up front, it is capable of nearly identical performance to its full size cousin. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| Miss Ashley II gets ready to rock. This was one heavily modified P-51. The Rolls -Royce Griffon engine is turning two contra-rotating props. It was a marvel of motion and engineering. The wings and horizontal stabilizers traced their roots to a Lear Jet. It was indeed unique. Unfortunately, the airframe broke up in flight during the 1999 races resulting in the death of pilot Gary Levitz. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| The little details like Grinch and the Rolls-Royce emblem on the gear door of this P-51 are a lot of fun to find. | ||||||||||||||||||||
