Grumman F8F-2
Bearcat, Conquest 1
This is Darryl Greenamyer's modified Bearcat. It won
a remarkable seven championships at Reno. The racer relied on power settings
just above the listed maximum, a massive weight reduction program, and
a detailed airframe cleanup to attain its highest winning speed of 414
mph.
