I recognize the back of Dan Vance's head there. We both did our training at the same time in Santa Rosa.

I asked a unlimited pilot if he runs at full throttle for the entire race and he replied " it matters who is behind you."

When I found this video, I was excited to watch it, and it started off great, but then you put that damn music on. I don't care about the quality of the engine sound inside the plane, when you play music to overdub the sound of a Merlin, it's like having sex with yourself....NOT SO GOOD.

[anytimeradio]

@pipcop I still love the sounds but does not sound the same with the canopy closed.

[greencatish]

turn the music off I want to hear the engine.

[anytimeradio]

@greencatish agreed but you can't hear much once the canopy is closed. Nothing like hearing the Merlin humm

I so very much want to make it to Reno this year. I have a question. When they are racing like this, are they pretty much running all out for the entire race or do they actualy have to throttle it back once in a while?

[MLS3287]

Very, very nice video.  I wish I could be in the second seat!

Imagine being 19 and going to war in those things. Respect for our greatest generation.
