Lou "Sky Slut" Meyer with his brothers on the ramp at Stead during Lou's glorious "Rookie Year." Every outing a win except the last, in which Lou finished second to his good friend, Dave Morss, and the Lancair Team.

Lou took the Thunder Mustang to great heights in 2000, proving the 3/4 scale "Mustang" design concept, the Ryan Falconer V-12 motor and himself, in one of the best and closest Sport Class competitions to date.

Lou Meyer departs for a heat race in Sport Class Race 69, "Thunder Mustang," the Ryan Falconer V-12-powered, 3/4 scale, composite design based on the larger, all metal, North American P-51D Mustang design.

The smaller Thunder Mustang can essentially out perform the stock P-51D and has held its own against Unlimited racers at Nellis AFB during demonstration races there.
