Man!! That is some EXTREME flying especially as viewed from the cockpit! Great job Sara, Steve, and Toby!
If you want to see more wild flying go on CZcams and search for Dead stick take off. Steve steps up flying to a whole new level.
Wow, I didn't know I could hold my breath that long. Congratulations to both of you!
Attended Reno 2021 and met Steve Henry and Josh Richling in the pits. They were engaging and kind enough to spend a lot of time explaining the Just SuperSTOL and modifications. STOL Drag is now my favorite event and am thankful for the time they invested to create another STOL Drag fan. Thanks to both men!
Thank you!
Great video, i love seeing the intensity and focus on Steves face as he flys in the race. Man...it happens fast and close to the ground. They make it look easy.
What an awesome set of races. Just as fun to rewatch as it was to see on the livestream! Thanks for sharing, Steve!!
A great competitor, a great ambassador, and a great innovator for the sport! Such a great week of flying! Solid work!!!
I absolutely love STOL drags. I am on my way, give me a couple-ish years Steve and I am coming for you! And that Gold Chanpionship! Absolutely great race and great airmanship. Much respect!
Thank you!
Autmotive? lol
Me too! I also would love to compete in the STOL competitions in a few years time. It would be real cool if there was an ultralight/part 103 class.
@@danhillman4523 yeah, I used to broker classic cars and I still use the email.
@@SteveHenry Very cool. Does anyone run a reversible thrust constant speed prop to help slow down? Especially useful on the ground one would think?
Great to see two rather different techniques leading to ALMOST the same result! Sweet racing!
Loved every second of it, thanks for sharing and making this segment of flying so exciting!
Well that was freaking intense, great flying to the both of you!
Great race, you two are pushing the sport forward by leaps and bounds.
That is some serious flying. I cant imagine slipping like that so close to the ground!
Spectating at Reno was my first STOL drag of many to come! Fantastic!
Super fun to watch. This event is here to stay!
thank you! -Sara
That was close, thanks for sharing and giving us onboard view as well. Fascinating with such different aircraft and styles.
Best race bare none all week. Fantastic flying boys. You guys stole the show.
Steve! I and I'm sure everyone here truly enjoyed watching your Bush 🏁 race you are an exceptional pilot with amazing talent and got that itch for speed and talented take offs lands and the very quick turn around you have 😀 I'm in aviation school at aims Colorado and have been welding in the oil field for almost 10 years I personally believe I'll have over 2 years tell I'll be licensed and DeGREeD as an aviation beginner and soon I will need to get many of hours flying to build up to the commercial card I wanna get a ways u and Trent are awesome and are my idols and I truly hope to see u guys flying out out and about sometime flying cowboy 🤠 out
Fantastic flying and a lot of fun to watch two very evenly matched aircraft and pilots doing their best. Well done!
Wow, amazing races and competition! Great editing, Sara! So much fun.
Even though you didn't win this one Steve, it was amazing seeing you guys compete in this video. Great job Sara
Thank you!
Thanks for posting! Awesome flying! It’s good to see you finally have some real competition!
Fantastic race! Love the ending to the video. Great job Steve and Toby.
"Ye Haw " !!! Loved seeing this from a jockey's view point . What a finish . They don't cut them that thin with an electron Microscope !!!!
It was so fun! -Sara
Amazing job both pilots. Mr. Henry, you're still my favorite to watch. 🙏💪👊
Thank you! Thanks for watching
KQ, the team and pilots have a good thing going there, excellent stuff.
That is some skill right there.The side slip to slow down is great. I would love to see one of those competitions. Fantastic.
We hope you can make it to one of them. Come say hi! -Sara
Exceptional video. Awesome flying! Thank you!
That looks INTENSE!!👌
It is extremely intense!!
That was a nail-biter! Wow! Great flying, and great video production!
Thank you! This is Sara (daughter) , I’m doing his video work. We are both trying hard!
Adrenaline rush just watching!! Awesome races and great vid 🤙🏻
Thank you :)
Fantastic flying skills, guys! And marvellous planes, of course.
MAn that was intense and really enjoyable to see. Great job guys, looks amazingly FUN!!!
Thanks for the nice comment!
Awesome skills by all, great to follow this last week on CZcams
Wow. Good job Sir. You are pulling the best out of everyone.
Competition drives innovation. 😊 thanks for the nice comment
Awesome!! Great video...man that was CLOSE!
Great flying/racing! I was pretty bummed - my first time to watch STOL drags and it happened to be on Saturday when things were cancelled due to winds. Oh well, I'll just have to attend another event!
Yea keep coming! It’s always a good time. :)
Wonderful race! Congratulations. It is so intense to see you guys, racing so tight ! Impressive!
Thank you. Can’t wait for next time! HSF
Wow!! That 1.5 seconds Steve lost on the turn, cost him. Love this stuff!!!
Excellent film footage and sound.
Thank you! -Sara
As a non pilot I love this, i'm also a motorsport fan so love pushing the envelopes of any discipline.
Thanks for watching! -Sara
Woa ha ha! that was close! But ya knew Steve had a target on his back and someone was gunnin to get him eventually. Exciting racing! Good job everyone!!!
Steve Henry vs Toby Ashley!
Dudes are hard core! Awesome to watch!
That was a great video and intense competition!! WOW!!
Thank you for the nice comment! -Sara
The first time I watched it, I thought Steve red-lighted on Race 2. But after watching several more times, I think he just beat Toby off the line, fair and square. Really great stuff. Congratulations to all!
It’s so close! We have all watched it sooo many times!
I think possibly his locked wheels just skidded forward due to spinning up the prop. Steve didn’t let off the brakes until Kevin said ‘C Ya,’….
Love to watch you fly Steve !!! Fantastic competition
Great racing!
Man, that got my blood pumping. I could not blink for a second. Freakin AAAAAAAAsom.
Awesome performance!😄
I know that it sucks to loose, but not winning is the spice that keeps one hungry!
And with Juan as the announcer, even more exciting!!!
Yea! He did a great job
Wow- what a great race! Super fun!
😁😁😁
I've had the privelege of flying with steve in one of his rocket ships. I can still hear and feel that plane when i watch this video. Can't wait to build one.
That’s awesome! Can’t wait to see it
Planes look dead even Toby's looks to be a hair faster but Steve looks to be the better pilot..So it basically comes down to who stops and turns the quickest.. Looks like adding beta will be next modification..Looks like these are the guy's who set the standards from here on out..The pioneers..Would have liked of seen how Scrappy compares..Hopefully Mike will jump in at some point.. Great racing boys!!
Awesome runs! Congrats to all of Rev a great race! You'll get them next time Steve!
Thank you, we will be looking for more speed and more brakes!
Congratulations to all
Hello from Minnesota!! Wow that was close!!
Great racing Steve 44. Awesome videos Sara 22.
Thank you 🥰
Wow I'm impressed
Thank you! Just wait for next year…
Wow! Wow! Wow! That was tight. Nice job Toby n Steve!
Thank you. It was a very close race!
Nicely done Steve. Absolutely thrilling finals. Lol on the concrete.
Awesome racing! Sooo close.
Thank you. It was so exciting
Wow! That was close. Great race. 👍
It was! Thank you
That was amazing!! Thank you for sharing
Thanks for the nice comment
That engine sounds absolutely insane!
Good show Steve, healthy competition only pushes you farther!
Thank you
Very exciting!!!
That's a cool airplane race . 400 hp.in a 800 pound . That just says FUN!!!
so much fun!
How does selling kit planes work? Like can any Joe Blow make a kit plane and sell it with the 49-51 completion rule? or do kit planes need to certified?
Wow so very close each time!
That looks quite fun
Amazing.
If it’s a tie, should the shortest one win?
THAT was exciting!
Thank you. It was close!
great job!
Thank you!
Im amazed that people actually race planes like this
I really don't know the point of this, but it was interesting nonetheless. Seems you could design and install a reversing prop and stop mid air.
I am sure you are already scheming to make that plane a bit faster and slower for next year...You'll get em Steve!
Maybe time for a Haltech ECU and tweaking the wastegate settings. They do two stage nitrous maps as well. Also could use E85 Ethanol fuel with a flex fuel sensor.
It would be nice to have a full time mechanic along for these trips to do some fine tuning!
I had no idea this existed ,,incredible skill to fly like that and to race as well ,,,jeez
Thank you!
Awesome!
Thanks for watching! 🙂 -Sara
It’s like in Motorcycle: Kawa has more Power 🤣
Thanks for the video!
Congratulations Steve and Toby!
Thank you!
I’m sure Sara could keep them distracted while you put the buckets of cement in there planes .🤠
😂
What’s the purpose of turning the plane is that the maneuver that slows it down the most ?
It’s called a Slip. Yes, It’s kinda like air brakes.
Very cool. Does anyone run a full reversible thrust constant speed prop to help slow down? Especially useful on the ground one would think.
Austin Clemens has a reversible prop. -Sara
So. Closely. Matched!
Yeah it makes it exciting for sure
That was intense
Yes it was! Thanks for the comment! -Sara
Wow that's intense looking!
It definitely is intense
Great Job Steve!
Nice guitar music at the end, too.
W O W. Toby was Fast! But fast is not always the best approach. You think you need to pitch the prop a smidge? Was ROOTING FOR YA!
Thank you so much for rooting for me!! As with most things there is more to this sport than meets the eye. Having the right prop and having it pitched correctly is definitely one of them.
What is Steve Henry’s shoulder patch?
SIMPLY AWEEEEESSSSOMMMEEEEE
😁😁😁
That was intense…
😬
Intense!!!!
That was a race
So close!! Next time……
Awesome
you will always be the stol master steve wtg
Thank you
Looking at you on the podium makes me suspect there some bucking horses in your past.
That last one was imperceptible!😬
