Chris and Steve never raced boats, but they know more then you could ever believe!!! In fact, I remember racing SST-120 at St. Louis in 1976 and after I ran my qulifying run Chris was telling how to drive the thing. Apparently I was not driving up to his standards!!! Chris played Division 1 Baseball in college, graduated from Washington and is a VP for a large firm in NYC. He lives in Westport, Conn. Steve graduated from Iowa and works with me in the Housewares business in Seattle and is running the company.
Ron was way out front and stuck a piston - just like he did at the Worlds in Alexandria, LA. I never raced his "NITRO" engine, but it hauled the mail - until it broke. It would run faster then Kilo record with a long course set-up on the 250 Runabout, which was 80MPH at the time.
Tell me to stop... as I'm looking for my life jacket....
