Mike Thompson announced recently that a new Gold Class will be opened for SARL cross country air racing this year. It is for RVs powered by engines over 360 cu. in. 540s are allowed for RV-10s only in this new class. I know there are several out there with 390s etc. and of course all of the RV-10s that weren't really competitive in the Sport FX class they were forced into with the Rockets etc. I wonder though how many will actually come out to race? Oh, and racers that have 360 cu. in. engines the wish to jump up to the Gold Class may do that - yes John and Jon there is more glory in that ... I don't know what the AirVenture Cup race will do in this regard.
