Nordskog's big boats fleet included a Cigarette 35' in 1973-76(American Viking II-Powerboat Magazine Special) and a Scarab 38' in 1977-87,(Powerboat -Los Angeles Skyhawks-Powerboat Magazine Special).

The CAM stood for Canada - America - Mexico.
Bob Nordskog did all kinds of individual endurace runs and this was one of them. He usually did these runs for some charity, like seeing eye dogs for the blind.

"Sunoco DX" in 1974 was renamed "Cam 2 Motor Oil" and it won only one race in 1976 with Penske e Bob Magoon at the last race in offshore.
And then "Diamond Don". I think we are in 1978.

Too much different in the deck.
It is a 40'(40',5") for cruising builted maybe in the same year of the firsts 40' race boat.

Look this differences.
This air-vent was'nt in the 40' race version. Note that it was part of the deck mould. Then the deck was changed all?
The dash was cutted and advanced for create a space between the engines room and the bolsters?
The fuel mouth was in the upper part of the "bridge-house" originally. Now is in the lower part. Why?

Re: Early 40' Cig's Raceboat ?
Here's the 39 mentioned earlier...
From the flpowerboat.com site(2000):
No Garden Variety powerboat. If this rare 39' Cigarette could speak...what stories it might tell. Barney Welch's "Powerboat Magazine Special" was once owned and raced by the legendary Bob Nordskog. The '77 hull was completely redone by Barney recently, and is powered by Gentry Turbo's that can be literally "cranked -up" to 900 HP. Barney and newlywed Vicki are just cruisin' today!
