 I read a article about the rocket racers in a aviation mag and my first thought was of the Komet and I hope they have a less corrosive fuel ! Must be nice to have that kind of dough.

Who's going to insure them?

I read that Pylon racing died because no one is going to insure them. The planes crash all the time. I would love to see a Pylon Air race with WWII aircraft.

I never saw the Yaks before. I always saw P-51's, Bearcats & Corsairs. Razorbacks rule here
