    They way it's going Reno might become the "Sea Fury Trophy Dash" - 5 of the 8 aircraft in the Gold final were Hawkers (R-4360, R-2800 and Centaurus-powered)

    Miss America did move up from third to finish second but it was mostly a parade of Sea Furys

    Well those little late war single engine jobs are okay but I prefer a more manly racer.

    And at least one R-3350 - as fitted to "Sawbones", my local Reno air racer. ; )

    This year was the first time ever in the history of the races that one race team (Sanders Aeronautics) had as many as four aircraft competing in the final gold race (4 of the 5 Sea Furies).

    Cool video from FlightChops of a P-51 debrief qualifying run! Pilot really gets tossed around!

    Can you imagine VR headsets ride-along in your comfy chair!

    Thanks for that video. The indomitable Clay Lacy!

    Cool post, TuFun. Wild logistics getting it all there and back, wow.
    Will have a Sea Fury with an R-4360, thank you.
