Reno Air Races
« on: September 18, 2010, 11:31:40 PM »
Went to the Reno Air Races today, saw a few guys in Bonneville shirts walking around. Heres a picture of
Bob Buttons VOODOO. In the race this afternoon Voodoo was in 2nd and had Mayday. Not sure what the problem was but the plane landed safe without an incident. If you havent been its an awesome display of aircraft.

THANKS SALT.

You probably didn't even get home before your Need For Speed took hold again.

Bob Button also owns the modified roadster that was owned by Seth Hammond, it also runs real good. The roadster has put a few in the 200 clubs at Bonneville and El Mirage. Members of the Gear Grinder club.

lvsalt,

Great photos, thanks for sharing.

By the way, how did you end up doing at Bonneville? You should bring the bike down to El Mirage and see how it runs on the dirt.
Take care,
