Blue Thunder Air Racing September 2008 Even though the progress on “Blue Thunder II†was a little slow this month, I think that we can call September very successful month. George Giboney with “Rapid Travel†had trouble with his superchargers but did amazingly well and finished every race. He was voted “Rookie of the Year†in the Sport Class. Our airport neighbors, “Team Rare Bear,†did their usual spectacular job but were disappointed when some pistons burned on Sunday. Thunderstorm 2008 went very smoothly with the overwhelming support of all the TBG, fans, sponsors and team members. There are so many people that deserve recognition, I hesitate to mention anyone for fear of leaving someone out. So for now, I will say thanks to everyone for a very successful air race month.
