Raced as #20, named POODER.
Report from the team by Tom Watkins: Pooder is a slab-wing Cassutt, built in 1969, but this will be its first season as a racer. PRS photos show it as #76 with the name Pocket Change on the cowlingu the name given it by the previous owner. I gave it a good workout on the pylon course with the C-85 that came with it.
