The quickly vanishing Unlimited category

[acroguy]

After reading the recent post about the Sebring video I decided to see how many Unlimited pilots were at each contest so far this year.

Either there was NO unlimited participation:

Hoosier Hodown
Wildwood Classic
Carolina Boogie
Ben Lowell
Snowbird

or 2 participants

Lone Star
East Coast

or 3 participants

Coalinga Western
Dual in the Desert
Hammerhead roundup

Only Sebring, the hugh early year contest in Florida was able to attract a whopping

7 participants.

What I thought was cool is that a guy flying a S-2B took 2nd in one of the two participant contests…….he actually scored pretty well!

I guess not that many people have $250K laying around to spend on a "competitive" airplane!
