For those who love planes, the imax at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle is playing a movie called "Air Racers 3D". It's about the Reno Air Races, and when they filmed it one of the Gold Unlimited planes (I think a modified P51) clocked over 500 MPH for a lap or three. It looks like it's only playing here for another couple days.

I just found out about it and here's a link

http://www.pacificsciencecenter.org/.../air-racers-3d


I actually was there while they were filming, maybe I'll make it in the movie

Here are some pictures I took while I was there

Well the movie was ok.....more of an hour long commercial for the air races, but I did make it in the movie. When the pilot is standing on the wing accepting the award, I'm in the background waiving at the camera

has anyone came across excessive heat under the hood. By that i mean "to hot to touch". basicly everything is very hot or to hot to put my hands on. I was leaning over and had my hand on the battery cover and air box and just noticed a very hot almost to hot feeling. The sway bar is to hot to touch. drove it like 10-15 mins to target and back, it was probly around 70 out side.
