RE: Seagull Gee Bee Z
Pete, great pics, thank you for posting them. The last one where the mechanic is fueling the Z is very interesting. Shows the larger cowl well. The fuel guage seems to have been changed/moved, and is missing in some of the other pics also. If one could travel back in time, and go over to Bayles, (he's standing with two other fellows just behind the Z in the last pic) And say, "dude, don't do it"........ He'd look at you like you were a crazy man and jump in and do 300! I don't think you could have talked him out of his goal. Or maybe just tell that guy fueling the Z, HEY, make sure that gas cap is on tight!
