For the first time in years Strega didn't win the Gold. This year it was flown by Matt Jackson, and finished 2nd behind Steven Hinton in Voodoo. Rare Bear was 4th.
That Glassair won at almost 400 mph and Dennis Buehen again in a T-6 going 245 mph!

And best of all, as far as I know the races were all safe. There was one midair that could have been a disaster, but ended safely. During the training or practice two L-39 jets hit in midair. Almost the whole top of the vertical fin and the rudder were cut off of one plane, but the pilot made a gear up landing on the runway and was unhurt as was the other pilot. Somebody or some luck was watching out for these guys that day.
