Looking for pictures of a Cigarette racing under 'Nasty" (82)

[2 Trick Rick]

I think the the owner lived in IL, and the driver or maybe throttleman lived in MI. raced back in 82' or 83 ?? I Think.

Red Krane and Dick Carlson (sp?)

Here are a few shots of Gary's Nasty, Dick was the throttleman, & Red Crain the navigator. Red lives on the Black River by Metro Beach. I talked to Red tonight, in that first pic Red & Dick were having a navigation disagreement.

Thanks!

Are those your pictures and if so is it ok to use them in the Harrison Offshore race program ?

Those are from the net and the 1981 Chicago race program. But here are two that I took, even one when she was M-5, & S-3. The late Gary Stuewe was the president of the Silver Cup Series and MOPRA.

why does it look like they are standing on the deck? did some boats have different freeboard? or fuel under the floor? some look very low some look high?

Rick,
Gary was a cool cat with a VERY and I mean VERY "Colorful" past. There are members here that can tell you stories about him that would probably make a great movie

I'm curious about Gary and the Harrison race program?

I believe the boat was a pleasure boat- thus the floor was higher than a race boat probably fuel under the floor as well - I also heard that the boat was still on "floor plan" when being raced- not sure of that - but was an interesting fact - Yes, Gary was a interesting guy - dynamic to say the least !

Gary and his wife were close friends of my wife
I got to know them pretty well when i started dating Cherie back in the Silver cup days

We had a small tradition of going out to dinner with them the night before a race and man could i tell you some stories
He had a thing about eating raw meat the night before a race YUCK

But h20boater (Mark with a K) can tell you al ot more than I can about Gary as he had known him for a long time

Gary passed away a few years ago, he was definitely as passionate about racing as anyone I have known

Like Mark said, Red Crain is living outside of Detroit and doing. We see him every once in a while.
Red has a some of the wildest stories to tell as well

What a cool bunch of history between a few old time racers that live in eastern Michigan (yea that means you Mark with a K)
