Factory-1 Scarab

Does anyone know who, (if anybody) raced this Scarab in APBA Factory-1?

This one was not raced but others were. Alehouse was one.
I have some pictures of a couple of the others. Guess I have to upgrade my membership. Was planning on putting it in the classifieds here in a month.
There are a couple guys on here that do know the history on this boat.

78 to 82 MPH depending on load and conditions.
How's your boat doing Hondo? Haven't seen anything on it in a while. Very cool Larry Smith boat also.

Last time out I had a serious loss of oil pressure that resulted in a knock. I plan on pulling the engine out this winter and warming it up a bit. I was wondering what kind of HP it might take to get me close to 80 so I would have a target for my build.
