Faulty oil canister crushes Roses’ run
By Lawrence Keech, Staff Writer
It wasn’t quite what Team Fountain wanted, far from it actually, but Fountain Powerboats President David Knight still had excitement in his voice, despite a breaking on the first lap and finishing second in the touted Super-Vee Unlimited class, during Sunday’s fifth annual Fountain Powerboats Grand Prix.
Not my words.
Cat Killer?
With magic engines?

Old muscle Cars are the bomb, the new Mustangs, Corvetts etc. are for sissys! This is why I like Apache's and Cigs.

Speed, speed, speed. Who cares. Anything can be made to go fast. Cool is cool, Apaches are cool. Tough is tough, Apaches are tough. History is important, Apaches wrote some of the best history.
If I could own one, I would. (and so would most of the other guys here that won't admit it)

Remember who is winning today will be the winning history tomorrow.
