Default I just could not stay out of the game

Back in the Day Wally Harper had one of the [badist] Magnums ever to race Li'L SMIDGEN ,, it later became Seminole Spirt, than American Spirt. Like Father Like Son Wally Jr & Ron Harper had the need to race too. There boat, SMIDGEN TOO a 24' Cobra with twin 302 Holman Moody Fords. I Just bought this classic, its in rough shape but its all there I plane to restore it as it raced back in 1975, should make a good historic racer.

Let me know if you want some help. I have some free time in my hands and a need for some sort of hobby. My bar tabs are getting ridiculous

Thanks Spark I will need some advice on this one,I originally bought the boat as a donor boat for a Magnum project. But when I found out it had Smidgen Too cast into the trim tabs I knew this would be a great boat to restore. Mark

Your quote, "one of the [badist] Magnums ever to race Li'L SMIDGEN " is about as accurate as it gets. That was my favorite Magnum raceboat.
