« on: July 21, 2017, 03:52:27 PM »
Anyone is the speed world able to give some reports, photos and data on the goings on at the NATS?

Best,    DennisT

They have been reporting every day of speed flying in the NATS News reports.   It available on the AMA site.   Mine comes via E-Mail as I signed up for it.   It is free if you are an AMA member.

Thursday ( copied and pasted direct from ama nats news)
Glen
VanSant has won B Speed every year including 2017 with a fine
175 mph flight with his piped Nelson .40. Second would go to
Bill Hughes with an OPS at 171.61 mph. Third would be Glen’s
son, James, with 168.06 mph.

NASS Sport Jet had 10 entries this year. The early ones on
the field Thursday morning had great difficulty finding the
right metering jet. Team NewMath found it on its third attempt
and posted a fine 152.79 mph and would end up the National
Champion for 2017. Butch Andrews bumped into second at
147.05 mph on his second attempt. Steve Perkins finished third at
146.88 mph.

Team NewMath is Joey Mathison and Johnny Newton, in case anyone didn't know.

Thursday A speed

. First place went to Bill Hughes at 179.86 mph, Glen
VanSant passed Chris Montagino into second place by .15 and
they would remain like that until day’s end.

5th place was my friend Howard Doering with a flight at 145.93. Howard is 74! He is an amazing pilot, and a darn good runner!

All of these are copied from AMA reports, and of course Joey Mathison texting me speeds and offensive language.... lol
I'm only doing this to report to those without AMA and our wonderful friends in other countries.

I seen that on the B Speed,  with a .40.  Got to be a misprint.  But not reading the NATS News he misses out on the pictures they put in each issue.

Yeah, I thought that was strange. I tried to edit a few misspellings. Like in the AMA mag, it said fox 53 instead of 35.
