2008 is Fred Schoellkof or someone he sold the rig to after 11/81. The absence of dominating Mod-VP tunnels means this shouldn''t be as late as 1983. I drove 2008 with the Evinrude at Havasu in 1981, was about 15 mph slower than the Mod V tunnels with gearcases above the sponsons (1981 is when under bullet water pickups were allowed, that killed the V-bottoms). Fred did not drive until after 1981 (he drove a Merc in 1983) so I'm unclear about the date. Louis Collins' nr. was 85, not 308.

Pic #11 is Gordon Downard in his Amsoil sponsored Mod VP he says it is either 81 or 82
