Two of Reno's "Unlimited Air Racing" giants going toe 2 toe for the top qualifying spot of 2004, Dago only beating the Bear out by .788 mph at 490.821 mph!!
2004 was a crazy weather year where you were getting beatdown by the sun early in the week, to some snow on the mountains around the airport by race day on Sunday. Like they say in Reno, if you don't like the weather, wait an hour.
*Bonus dawn patrol flight by the Bear
