Roswell's thin air made a T-6 crew chief start his tuning over

Roswell's thin air made a T-6 crew chief start his tuning over

Charlie Duffy, crew chief for Greg McNeely's race 90 T-6, says the engine numbers his crew learned over years at Reno do not work in Roswell's thinner air. Running 2,400 rpm and 70 gallons an hour, against a stock Smithsonian rating of 450 hp at 2,100 rpm, the crew is rebuilding its data from telemetry in the National Championship Air Races' second year at Roswell.

  • 01Race 90's engine runs at 2,400 rpm burning 70 gallons an hour, against the 450 hp at 2,100 rpm the Smithsonian lists for a stock R-1340 Wasp.
  • 02The National Championship Air Races left Reno after 2023 and began at Roswell in 2025, making 2026 only the second September of Roswell racing.
  • 03Duffy saved no telemetry from the first Roswell year; this season he is logging cylinder-head temperature, fuel flow and pressure to set the plane up for 2027.

Plano's mayor says Willow Bend is a district, not a Stars arena with parking

Plano's mayor says Willow Bend is a district, not a Stars arena with parking

Plano Mayor John Muns characterizes the proposed Dallas Stars arena site at Willow Bend as a mixed-use entertainment district with shopping, housing, offices, and hotels, not merely a parking lot with an arena. Voters will decide the venue tax proposition in November, pending release of final renderings that show the full scope of a development already approved as a base plan before the Stars expressed interest.

  • 01Willow Bend was approved as a mixed-use development before the Stars came to Plano; the arena is an addition to an existing plan for shopping, restaurants, housing, and office space.
  • 02Plano has grown from roughly 25,000 residents in 1970 to over 300,000 today, making it the ninth-largest city in Texas, and the mayor argues the metropolitan center has shifted north from Dallas toward Plano.
  • 03Plano's strategy relies on redevelopment of existing sites rather than greenfield development; past examples include AT&T's headquarters on the former EDS campus and the Kintetsu Miyako Hotel on the old JCPenney campus.
