The Formula One class runs at speeds over 260 mph using a Continental O-200! Yes, that is the engine that powers the old familiar trainer, the C-150. These planes are small, frontal area is minimal and the pilots are snug in the cockpit. The racing is fast, close and competitive.
They use a horse-race start where they take off in position of qualifying along the home stretch on runway 08 and head straight onto the course. If the wind is not cooperating they use Runway 26 or 14/32 to start.
The returning champ from 2014 is Steve Senegal in Endeavor who has several Championships. He had to pass #50 during the Gold Final on Sunday to take the trophy this year - fun race to watch.
