Our man from the experimental taxi way at Santa Paula airport,
 Dan Wright won the Silver on Sat with his non turbo SX300.
Non turbo's are at a disadvantage at the 5000 foot Reno air races.
Dan should have his NemesisNXT with a Continental TSIO 550 done by next year.
Looks like he DNF'd in the Gold.

The Thunder Mustang with its redesigned 90 degree V12 crankshaft came 
in second in the Gold. There may be hope for that engine after all.  Probably 
good for Mazda rotary acceptance in a very subtle way as it is small block Chevy
based. The engine cost over $100,000 dollars however. Somebody is dumping 
big money into that project. The factoy Lancair IV won again after a 
berserkas replacement of a blown engine. Too bad Dave Anders had his MT prop
runaway and crash as he had that thing going 391 MPH.
