Raced as #11, named Endeavor.
Report from the team by Steve Senegal: Obviously we were disappointed with last years performance. We started with a good engine that Ken Tunnel at LyCon put together for us. However on the final day of racing, shortly after take-off, Endeavor started running rough and shaking so badly that the altimeter broke. Ly-Con disassembled the engine after the race and found no anomalies. They did find that the carburetor, which wasnt overhauled prior to the 2009 race, wasnt operating properly at high power settings. Weve since repaired it and put a dozen or so hours on the racer this year, and we think weve got it dialed in pretty good. Competed at the National Championship Air Races in the Formula One class.
