Skip Hold piloting Dago Red went out and ripped off the second fastest qualifying speed of the 2003 Reno National Championship Air Races at just over 492 mph.
my father worked on voodoo during these years :D i graduated hs in 02/03 and remember the year before this :) Dago Red were very close to us with Hovey Machine :) thank you for uploading, my dad passed in 2008 aug 8th and as an only child this was one of the coolest things we did together!!! I feel very special to work reno pit races for multiple years and y2k was one to remember LUL looking forward to next video :D
I got to see this airplane in person when it landed at the old St.George airport. Dad let us see it even though we had to be places, because as he said "they're never gonna see something like this again" I've remembered this airplane ever since.
I did a tail number look up on Dago Red and it came back to the address of what looked like a scrap yard on google maps in a town named Kerman Ca, which is only about 20 miles from where I live. I have been thinking about taking a drive out there to see if they have any insight on the plane. I hope that, that great plane has not been scrapped.
Aaron Morita No, she got mixed up in a divorce mess and ended up being taken by the bank, and after that whole mess, one of her former crew members bought her (or what’s left of her) and is slowly rebuilding.

When I was a kid my dad had an RC Dago Red made by EZ and it was that airplane that started my obsession with aviation. Amazing video!
