Some West Texicans admiring Race 83.  "Cool forward swept wings".  "Look how far back the pilot sits."  Hey, it's a tail dragger."  They are amazed...

The hard luck award for this race went to Duncan and Carolyn Sutherland who had to leave their SX 300 on the ramp at Lubbock with an engine that wouldn't start - but then drove to the race.  That's the spirit!
We'll see you next time, guys!

Post brief, it was "Now go out there and kick the tires and light the fires and Gentlemen, You Have A Race!"

Post-race and waiting for the scores.
Now I ask you - have you ever seen a happier group of pilots?
All smiles...

John Huft, Race 18, gets the "Best Legs" award.  Better put some sunscreen on those, John!

Zodiac belonging to Race Rookie Eric Frische, Race 42T and on whom Cam bestowed the monniker "Caboose".
Eric IS the spirit of SARL.  At 104 MPH he was last off, last back, and he had as good a time as anyone!
