A Few more Aeroplane racing tidbits, as now
Thars' just the final race left to decide this year's Champion.
Don't know if Y'all heard or read that 'Ol
SuperTex, nee Anthony Joseph Foyt, Jr. at the spry age 'O 83 recently held
court at Mother Speedway as the Grand; Err Air Marshall for the recently
contested Red Bull air Race.
And the Show at Mother Speedway apparently
didn't Disappoint. Even though Foyt was ARSE-Sumedly rootin' for his Homeboy Kirby Chambliss,
since A.J. noted that's what fellow Texans do...
Nonetheless, it was another unknown to Mwah
Yank' Stealing the Show, as Michael Goulian flew into the record books by
winning the 2018 Indianapolis Red Bull Air Race. With Gouliand vaulting from
nine markers back to the points lead, now five ahead with just the season
finale at another B-I-G' Oval-track.
As the season finishes on November 17-18th at
Eddie "the Goose" Gossage's Texas Motor Speedway, where hopefully
Gouliand will be triumphant, as the Massachusetts native who's just turned the
B-I-G 5-OH' will be trying to join a rare group of American pilots to have won
the Red Bull Air Race's elite Master Class World Championship.
Currently Chambliss, now 59 of Corpus Christi, Texas won the title in
2004 and '06. While fellow Yank, the late Mike Mangold of Cincinnati, Ohio was
World Champion in 2005 and '07 before fatally perishing aboard his Acrobatic
airplane in December, 2015.
