All,

Feathers querry caught me off guard as having not heard of this race.
Anyhow,  if you are not aware, the race is Jul 21 - Jul 22.  It runs
from Kitty Hawk, NC to Dayton, OH, and on into OSH the second day.  The
race was great fun last year with wonderful (read generous) sponsorship
from Klein Tools.

I personnally spent day one of the race in Broken Bow, OK teaching my
son to finer points of diving into the hotel swimming pool (while
awaiting FedEx).  However, (with new parts installed), we turned in
quite respectable speeds on day two (albeit disquallified for skipping
day 1).

The race is very professionally run and provides all sorts of Free
Gedunk including T-shirts, fuel, food, Oshkosh week long passes, front
row parking, and free advertising for the numerous contributors, etc.
How can you say no to free stuff?

The only quirk to this race is regarding classes for the LNC2 folks.  As
yet the Retractable Gear 180 HP class allows turbo'd or supercharged
engines to run with the normally aspirated 180's.  Hence, racers 2-5
were all within about 5 mph last year with the winner running
rediculously faster.  I assume this will be rectified as number of
participants increases over the years.

Applications are due at the end of the month.  Plenty of good fun all.
I highly recommend it! Go to the EAA website for details.
