    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!

    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!!
