I think Thom Richard was understandably over-dramatic with his prediction that PM is out of racing for good. He had just narrowly missed being killed in a possible fuel tank explosion, or a sudden fuel fire on takeoff, so let's wait and see what the owner wants to do with the airplane once they can get a good look at it. Racers are worth a lot more money converted back to stockers (with over-perfect paint and all the WWII accessories and gee-gaws added) so that could be where they decide to go. It was a Whittington creation back in the '80s so if it's going to be put back to stock there may be a lot more work to do.

By the way, he used to be Richard Thom and then he changed it around.
