Wow, averaging almost 410.

Any wrecks this year? There were 3 planes down and 2 fatalities when I was there.

One other cool thing I recall seeing was a homebuilt that had a supercharger. Only the supercharger wasn't on the main engine... it had a separate engine behind the pilot that basically forced air into the main engine's intake. So the pilot basically has a wound out briggs & stratton on his back along with separate fuel for it. Nutz.
