I would have guessed to keep the weight on the tail like a drag boat but it was so far back there I could not imagine room for staggered engines and trannies. If it were mine, I would not have moved the cockpit so far forward.
modified 6's. I think the cockpit was put back there for aerodynamics. Not sure though.

That's the one I was thinking of. Somewhere in my cloudy state, I misunderstood Tim in St. Pete.
Otis I'm not running 50% Cigarette and 50% cocktails anymore, so the Cigarette side gets rusty.

The boat was purpose built (Kilo Record). There for it had some special features. I assume they're tweaking one of these features such as the carbon fiber fuel cell. It was problematic with the fuel filters!
But I don't know exactly what they're doing to it.
Like I said, it is just amazing in person! and when you sit down into that cockpit it's awe inspiring. Just the knowledge alone that you're sitting in the fastes Cigarette ever built! SICK!
