Thanks so much for posting! I never got a chance to see the Pond Racer in action (let alone Reno) and have been looking for years hoping to see something new on this interesting plane!!! Great stuff!
+ stocchinet Custom-made "Pond Racer" by Scaled Composites. It showed some good numbers but the automotive Nissan engines were troublesome and they could not keep them cool. It had a fatal accident after an engine failure and before it was able to demonstrate its full potential.

Great video! Do you have some more footage of the Gee Bee R2?
