Do you know if Rare Bear is the the plane to beat. I remember reading some years ago about that little F8F and how fast it was. So much hp and such a small airframe. Kind of reminds me of a Cobra. The last year I heard anything about the races, Rare Bear got hold of some bad gas, and Strega won the race.
