Modified P-51 Racer

These photos were taken by Greg Wise

Following info provided by  Mark Bednarczyk

This plane is Racer 38, owned by Ron Buccarelli. It was once owned by the Whittington bros. and was named "Precious Metal", and sponsored by World Jet.  At Reno, 2001, it still carried Precious Metal.  The fuselage was polished aluminum, and the wings were a gaudy lime green.  The powerplant was a Roll-Royce Griffon turning contra-rotating props.  If you look closely, you'll notice that the second set of props are chopped shorter than the front ones.  Also of note is the smooth finish of the wings. Nothing protruding to effect the smooth air flow.
      There is more available on the plane elsewhere on the internet. I suggest you check  Pylon1.com

If you feel there is a need for descriptions for this walk around, then feel free to type them up and quote the photo numbers above and forward the descriptions to Steve Bamford, so they can be put up into this walkaround.  We could really use our viewers help with this.  An expert on this aircraft could write much better descriptions than we could.
