I'm excited too Dave, and will help him all I can.

First flight was back in

the 70's and the design speed of the plane was

around 450 MPH.  Back then,

qualification speed for unlimiteds was 410 and Dave

had a chance to cruise

to victory without having to go over cruise power

setting!  If only he had

been able to solve cooling problems (sigh.......)

Unfortunately, today's big

buck racers have pumped up the Merlins to the very

edge of destruction and

unlimiteds are going 480 (for a few minutes)   :-)

We are going to make one more try to get the Motec

EFI controllers working

($15,000.00 invested!) but if no joy, will install
some EC2s.

I'll bet we could start a fund to help Dave Garber.

MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY!!............."So I'll kick of the
Fund" with $200.00........What say you all??

We will have to check this out with Dave Garber. He might not want
the pressure :-)

Paul Lamar

Can't speak for him but I think our encouragement would mean more to Dave
than the money.
