Cool Cassutt!
I've never looked real close at one before I guess,
I'm surprised to see the aileron so close inboard on the wing.
Is that a standard Cassutt wing (if there even is such a thing?),
or your own design?

It's been about fifteen years since the last time I went to the races. It has always been a great time. Watching your video and looking at the pics I realize I should plan a trip in the next couple of years.

Have fun

First place Silver. Not too shabby.

I'm glad they had the streaming feed so I could watch. Last Lap Player is also from my home field. It's too bad they cut and got dropped to third.

Homey is a friend of mine and I can't wait to hear his recounting of the events when he gets home.
