Home of Wasabi Air Racing

Elliot Seguin and Jenn Whaley's Formula One class air race team based out of Mojave, California. Pylon racing at the National Championship Air Races in Reno Nevada. Eight airplanes racing head to head around telephone poles in the desert. Mojave is the best place on the planet to build and modify a race plane, and Wasabi is lucky to have the best support in the business.

The GT400's new livery!!

Hey Guys,

I wanted to thank Dan Kreigh, Kelsey Moran, and Whitney Brown for all the help getting the GT looking sharp for it's Oshkosh debut.

The airplane will be on display in the Reno Air Racing area on Boeing Plaza so we wanted to bring out it's racing roots.  We used some old photos of Ralph's Owl Racer the "Wise Owl" to replicate his old race number on the GT400.  I am super stoked to get to help tell Ralph's stories to the next generation of performance aircraft enthusiasts.

See you in Wisconsin!!

An evening with a classic

Justin Gillen is helping a friend sell a sweet little Franklin powered Flybaby.

Speaking at this month's Plane Crazy



Hey Guys,

Jenn and I will be speaking this month at the Mojave Plane Crazy Saturday, and we plan to have the airplane on display.  The talk starts at 11:00 am in the board room at the Mojave airport on November 15th.

Our talk will cover the history of the team through the design and build of the new airplane.  We will also have some details about the record setting flight to Oshkosh and the 2014 Reno race season.

See you there!

2014 Banner


Hey Guys

We had a great week with Wasabi.  Qualified and finished up 4 places and 6 mph from last year.  Had the fantastic opportunity to fly "in the pack" all week which meant for great opportunities to learn.

A huge thank you to our sponsors and team

Fuel for flight test


Hey Guys,

It has been a lot of fun sending out the Reno 2013 patches (link), exciting to see people thinking about our little airplane.

As part of the offer we promised that extra cash sent would be spent on gas for flight test.  We spent the weekend digging holes in the sky looking for speed and we wanted to thank the folks that helped buy the gas.

Craig Evans
Raymond Sewell
Jeff Williams
Dave Triano

This one is for you!

We have decided to extend the free patch offer, so get in your self addressed stamped envelope, and get your free patch.
