With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

You can't make a race horse out of a pig. But if you work hard enough at it you can make a mighty fast pig. - Bob Akin

Relax Sparky
It's six in the morning here and I'm mailing from a phone I cannot see because my arm isn't long enough. I got a drive , however it was very short because someone had forgotten to put enough course markers for a short guy in a Streamliner to see. Goggles had three runs. The 205. Which pushed the seal out the front of the engine. An aborted run caused by the refitted harmonic balancer hitting the rotation sensor ( my oops) and after a lot of work changing the diff ratio and whole day waiting in the queue, the 215 run on Friday.
I decided not to have a second attempt, the car isn't really built for a guy of my particular shape and as the queue was moving so slowly it would've meant Goggs may not have got another run

In good news, Ross. Brown is now the head of motorcycle tech, so that one less job for me this year and about 1000 less phone calls.
