    Just going through pictures that didn't quite turn out and found this one.
    Doug Gordon looked like he needed a tree upgrade on his Saturday morning pass at Fireturd International Disgraceway.

    The paint is not going to last that long at this rate.

    wow

    Wow! I think we need to do some bracing before we make any runs at Tucson. We noticed the throttle cable was being rubbed. We couldn't figure out what it was ,but now we know.

    Thank you,
    Doug Gordon

    How do I get a copy of that picture?

    The second picture is even more amazing. We haven't even noticed any problems with the paint or anything. The only sign of it was the mark on the throttle cable. We contributed the mark to previous blower explosions. Thanks again for the pictures and the help. I am sure our new body wouldn't last too long if we kept dong that to it.

    I am sure he will skip Tucson for this!
    It looks like there is something holding the very front of the nose up. The hard turn would lead me to believe there is something under there supporting it. Is there any marks on the back of the fuel tank or the fittings on the returns?
    Good luck in Tucson everyone. I will be staying here with my wounded brother that actually took these shots.
