We all certainly do know that Steve was a "Speed Racer" at heart but I was unaware he actually participated in it with the model planes!
I see people my age out there climbing mountains and zip lining and here I am feeling good about myself because I got my leg through my underwear without losing my balance

Here's a pix of Steve with (I think) a Kansas Twister.

Back in the day when stunt, combat, scale, and carrier were ONE EVENT each, guys branched out more for something to do.  Even racing was pretty-much just rat.  Only speed offered 6 ways to fly the same event.

With just single elim fast combat, it could be a long day (or weekend, or week at the Nats) without something else to fly.

Steve was a very talented and creative person and his early demise was a great loss to our hobby. I built several Argus models of his design and I probably have one more in me before I go. I've been looking for many years for a color picture of the Fierce Arrow he built and flew at the Nats  to no avail. This is probably my last try at obtaining such a picture.
