Sorry about the delay guys. Work keeps getting in the way of the
hobbies.
The Three classes (of 9) that Lancairs ran in were the Open, 180 HP
Lancair, and 160 HP Lancair. All speeds are in kts. 35 Aircraft were
fielded under blue skies and SE winds of 15+ kts. It appears that 3
similar aircraft were required to make a class. Classes changed the
night before the race reflecting this. The course was deemed 82 kt.
300+ HP Open Class
Place Name N # Type Speed
1 Lou Meyer 58EE T. Mustang 278.49
2 Dan Denny 92XL Glasair III 259.86
3 Michael Smith 350G Swearingen 249.96
4 Darryl Greenamyer 33XP Legacy 249.11
5 Rick Schrameck 975RA Legacy 236.35
180 HP Lancair
1 Larry Henney (BG) 360LH Lancair 360 209.96
2 Arnold Christen 96AC Lancair 360 205.57
3 Tom Giddings 360TG Lancair 360 197.33
160 HP Lancair
1 Scott Krueger 92EX Lancair 320 202.19
2 Bill Harrelson 5ZQ Lancair 320 196.02
3 Lorn "Airbag" Olson 31161 DNF "......My tire...." huh?
Other notable finishes included an RV6 at 198.12 kts (Richard Jankowski)
and an 80 HP Pulsar at 121.63 kts (Thomas Cain). The biggest bummer for
me was the Hammer Brothers. Driving Glasair I FT's they rolled in at
212.53 and 210.71 (Bruce and Steve Respectively). Ouch :(
I found it impressive that 640 HP (Thunder Mustang) takes 17 minutes to
get around the course where for only 1/8 the HP one can Pulsar around
the track in slightly over double the time (40 minutes). And perhaps a
little less fuel to boot.
When asked if the IVP guys and the Poulan Special wanted to play I was
only able to hear a faint clucking as they walked away.
The showing of LNC2's was quite impressive with about a dozen beauties
on the ramp. Numerous IV's as well (gorgeous).
A great time was had by all with no incidents on race day. A special
thanks to Aircraft Spruce's President Jim Irwin for both sponsoring the
race and getting in the trenches to pull it off. Thanks also to EAA's
Tom Poberezny for waving the starting flag.
