RENO 2008! HERE I COME!!!!

As many of you know I was a part of a pit crew last year at Reno that had to deal with a race fatality. I thought I would never return to Reno but today I was asked to be part of Mike Mangold's pit crew! He's flying a "Viper" L-29. If his name sounds familiar Mike won the red Bull Races a few years ago. Here's his site.

Mike Mangold

I'm so excited I could just ****!!!!!!!

Wish me luck guys - I'm back in the "Big Leagues."

Awesome... The Reno Air Show is a must see... but I'd like to see it from your vantage!

Are you staying downtown?
