Air racing is a dangerous game.

Sad day for everyone. T & P for the families.


The angle of attack on impact makes me think either elevator failure or high speed stall.Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

From the still photos that were shown this morning, they were looking at some failure of the tail assembly, as well as any flight recorder information that was transmitted to the ground crew.
They had mentioned that there had been some "enhancements" done to the plane prior to the race to increase speed, but they are checking into that as well.
