Darryl Greenamyer got his start in Air Racing in 1964; he won the first Air Racing Championship at Reno in his modified Grumman F8F Bearcat. Greenamyer went on to another 6 Championships spanning 13 years. But Greenamyer did more than just air race. In 1969, Greenamyer set the world speed record for propeller-driven aircraft in his Bearcat clocked at 483.041 mph, breaking the pre-WWII record set in Germany. Eight years later, flying a "homebuilt" F-104 Starfighter, Greenamyer set another world speed record of 988.009 mph which still holds today. The former Lockheed test pilot now races in Reno’s Sport Class and has added three championships to his list of qualifications. He flies a modified Lancair Legacy, built by his crew chief Andy Chiavetta. Chiavetta and Greenamyer have reengineered just about every system on the Legacy, resulting in a 100+ mph speed increase over the stock configuration.
