Great pictures Bryan. Congrats on the race results. 145 mph in a two-place VW powered aircraft sets a pretty high bar.

Thanks Wes! I’m trying to lure some more Sonex people to compete, both VW and Corvair which are all in the same class. @daleandee @JKS

I’m not sure what class the Jabiru and Rotax guys would be in, but if at least 3 show up they will make a class. The reason to do it is fun and fellowship, more than the trophies and adoration of the flying world.

Not for me my friend … I’m no air racer, I barely made the pilot part. :grin:

My mentor’s description of AVC: we fly a little, then come back and drink beer, eat food, and tell lies. It’s really just a cross country flight. They have no-penalty fuel stops, where you can also take care of other needs, like if you can’t fly for 4 hours straight.

Somebody caught my departure in this video, at 20:40 or so.

Although he cut out my taxi and used some horrible AI photo for the thumbnail.

I’m game.

Pat’s really nice blue & white Waiex was caught by the EAA photographers. Scroll down a bit in this page of their flicker album.

Adam flew me up to retrieve the Saturn from the Sonex parking lot after work today. Mission complete.
