REFLECTOR: Fw: [c-a] crash at RR

[Peter Braswell]

As I understand it, it was a Glasair III with LS 1 Automotive conversion.
 We arrived on Saturday and the NTSB was on the field.  Apparently 1
fatality, the pilot.  As I understood the accident, he pulled up after a
high speed pass and the engine sputtered out.  Early speculation was that he
had a drive failure, but that's just speculation/hearsay.

It was a very sad and unfortunate event to be sure.

Best,
Peter
