    Default Boat with inappropriate name, Evansville OPC race 1975

    I remember a big 1975 OPC race in Evansville, IN, a boat showed up with the name Beat in A**,
    painted on the deck (the third word, of course, being an expletive).

    Jack Lewis made the crew remove that last word of the name before they could compete.
    I remember them sanding frantically before the drivers meeting.
    Does anyone know who the driver was?

    I seem to remember an 1100R from the mid west that had the words " hoppy sits and sh!#s here" I think there was a ACspark plug logo on the boat as well.
    funny that at the nationals the next year Winona I think the latter half was removed......

    Default I Don't Recall These Names...

    I do recall two boats: Huff Hearted and Ice Melted.....One had a horse painted on the side and the other had ice cubes pained on the other.

    The other boa that came to mind was "Liquor Box". It had a picture of a wooden box on the boat....
