I cannot remember to save my life the real name of this plane! Its nicknamed "the egg" or some variation of egg. Small 2 seat piston with tricycle retracts. They race a couple at Reno. Any idea what the name is? Here is a pic of one at Reno:

It's not difficult to find out if you have the registration. Simply type it in Google. http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=&q=N521XD&sourceid=navclient-ff&rlz=1B3GGLL_en-GBGB408GB408&ie=UTF-8

Failing that try the FAA registry database. http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNum_Results.aspx?NNumbertxt=N521XD
