It is all for fun, not competition. Yeah... Right.
I have to say it is really cool to watch all the different aircraft qualify and compete.
Even had an Aero Commander try and qualify..
So whose going to beat Draco ? One never knows what will show up... Did anyone imagine Draco?
I think everyone knew it was a race for second place... And Draco would have had to make a 7 second mistake for anyone to get close. Not likely... Especially in the capable hands of Mike Patey.
So... We arrive at Dead Cow in a 3 ship at sunset... Trent and Nikk honestly never shut down... They call for the last 2 aircraft to qualify.. Trent and Nikk line up... Trent qualifies fully loaded and Nikk missed by .03. they wouldnt let me quality due to safety.. to dark. Nikk is flying a S7 Super Sport 912uls
So without going over the whole race... I'll put it this way. Trent beat 3 carbon Cubs... Actually 2 but he beat one twice. And the one he beat twice was last year's STOL Drag champion Mark Patey in his carbon Cub... And yes it was that close.. they raced twice.
So, congrats to Mike and Draco and Great job Trent!
What fun to watch!
