What happened to the engine? I know a little bit about this stuff, but I can't put my finger on it

You guys are the very best.

Keep up the good work. And hope to see you win many championships.

What does he pass @ 5:59-6:00?

@aglandcattleman

Once he drops down and passes the Tigercat and the camera switches to the wing view, he then comes up on the P-51 Mustang 'Merlin's Magic', he then passes the other Tigercat just before the engine lets go.

@Voodoo1650 Ok I see it now. Thanks

Stunning!

ADMIRABLE footage, among other reasons because until now I have never had the chance of watching one of these races from an onboard camera. Besides, since I don´t live in the US, there are a number of things that I still don´t know about these races, such as: how many laps do pilots have to fulfill? How many participant on average per race? Around ten maybe?

Hi Alan,

The Gold heat race on Friday is 6 laps, Saturday it’s pushed to 7 and then Sundays Gold final is 8 laps, the course is 8.433 mile long and it doesn’t take them long to get around at the speeds they’re going.

Depending on the size of the Unlimited field they usually run 6 to 8 planes in a race.

Watch the speed increase after, "Gentleman, you have a race" ! ( when the T-33 pulls out)

Smokin' !!!

Just made my day!

Thank you for posting
