No credit for the owner or the caller?

I think I created a monster

Probably will not get the airplane back now, darn I will have to build me a new one

Bill and the plane and power plant (DA150) flew great all week. But in the Gold race, for him to come across the line in 3rd yet win it, means his caller had him on the course, hitting every pole, while the planes in front were getting cuts.
Congrats to Mr Bill and Mr Treat. May I still call you Martin?
Marty

FWIW the fastest airplane at the meet didn't win..The Wreckless Racing Tsunami flown by the Pres and powered by a Herbrandson 289 turned a 1:17 something witn NO cuts..Unfortunately he didn't make all the heats and had to settle for first place in silver, also not reported......I wasn't there but was told he clocked 231+ mph ON THE COURSE....
Maybe Martin can confirm ....
I know, second place is the first loser...

Ralph is correct but in the Gold Bill and I also turned a 1:17 so maybe the the most consistent fast airplane won

And just to pat Bill and my backs a little, we only had 8 seconds in the turns. Very similiar to Kenny and Scott's win in Ohio when they only had 7 seconds in the corners flying the same airplane motor combination.

Any body that does this knows it is all about the team effort. Martin did an awesome calling job all week. I was really just trying to protect my good friend Martin from all the paparazzi and fame.
I was going to take on the burden of all the hot chicks, fame and fortune that comes with the limelight. Now the cat is out of the bag and we know it was an equal team effort between the pilot and the caller. Sorry Martin i am not responsible if you cant handle the fame and fortune....I know you can handle the hot chicks, so no worries there.

It would be nice if somebody has all the results to post them on here....

There is no doubt Donny's Tsunami was crazy fast. This was only the first race with it too. Once he gets it all worked out that thing will be unbelievable. I am looking forward to seeing that thing cook.

The Salami fast, yes. It only had the fastest time by .13 of a second. Don't sell the DA's short. Our Stiletto with a DA170 turned a 77.3 clean and all of our heats were in the teens. Matins with a DA150 turned a 77.? in the Gold. Can't wait for next years rumble!

Hope the Cookie Lady is doing well Ralph. We missed her.
