Buddy of mine that lives out in Mojave just posted up a video he made for the unveiling of his new race plane.

This one is designed and built by him, pretty sick. He’ll be racing it wing to wing out in Reno next month

They ended up qualifying for the Gold race on Sunday, so top 8  
Finished 8th, but thats a huge accomplishment for an untested plane.

Jake, your cousin was out there with them on the pitcrew
