Raced as #4, named Dago Red.
Competed at the National Championship Air Races in the Unlimited class. The primary pilot was Rick Brickert. Qualified in 5th place with an average speed of 430.641 mph. Raced in Heat 4B. Finished in 3rd place with an average speed of 425.744 mph. Raced in Heat 7. Finished in 1st place with an average speed of 439.832 mph. Started the Championship race, but did not finish. Declared a Mayday and pulled out on the third lap when a rod broke almost cutting the engine case in two. Brickert, who had been running in a close second right behind Holm, pulled up and came back on the power quickly so that he could get the prop where he wanted it to help him make the runway. He got the prop control back while he still had oil pressure and got the turns down and, thus, was able to get two or three times the glide that he otherwise would have. However, by coming back on the power so quickly, a great deal of fuel and oil had accumulated in the engine which ignited. As he set up to land, Rick fired a Halon bottle which initially controlled the fire, but, shortly thereafter, it ignited again. The smoke and flames obscured his vision as he turned final, thus, he jettisoned the canopy. Even then, the flames licked back over the windscreen and scorched the top of his helmet and melted his visor. Rick very capably side-slipped the airplane onto the runway (One-Four), rolled out, and exited the aircraft rapidly while it was still burning. A firetruck arrived shortly thereafter and extinguished the flames, keeping the damage to the aircraft to a minimum considering the situation. Brickert was unhurt. |

Raced as #4, named DAGO RED.
Appeared at the National Championship Air Races to compete in the Unlimited class, but did not qualify. The primary pilot was Dan Martin from San Jose, CA. From MustangsMustangs.com: For Reno Dan Martin and his crew chief borrowed Dago Red for a few months. Dan put his race motor (Sparrow Merlin) into Dago Red and worked out a few bugs with the airframe. The merlin ran well, but an ADI check-valve failed and the engine overheated very quickly during qualifying. Before Dan got the racer down, the engine blew a hole in itself and spewed oil down the sides of Dago Red. Dan landed safely but the merlin was done. The 2nd race motor was producing too much metal after a Wed. night test run. Dago Red was out of the races. |
