Velocity - Still Crazy
 

EDIT: New Pics Added

Came across this in the storage yard I keep my trailers in. Don't know anything about it. Just thought I'd share.

Wow that's a sad sight.....Is it in Lauderdale? Can you get the owners info?

Hey Ryan, I'll ask at the storage yard tomorrow. The name on the sticker was something like Schenkle, but don't quote me on the spelling. Oh yeah, it's in Pompano Beach. Sample and Powerline if you're familiar with the area.

still crazy
 

What a cool velocity? Definitely some history there...Someone save 111.

The boat last raced around 1984 the crew moved up to an open class cat in 1985 and were both Killed in Key West RIP **** Fullam and Mike Poppa....

Geez Ryan, I just noticed your number. Sorry to hear about the racers. I wonder if someone has been holding on to it as a memorial or something. I don't want to disturb any spirits or upset anybody, I've already got enough bad voo doo in my life right now :D

find out if they want to sell it. i would like it

had one of those would like a nother . let us know please. thanks bruce

In the early 80's Velocity claimed to be the first deep V to break 100 mph. Is this the boat that broke the 100 mph barrior?

yes. the 30 was the first i believe

...be nice to see the hull doing this again................

great shot!!! needs to look like that again

cool ride..someone should save her...

Robert,

I think the hull that broke 100 was the old "Airbrook" when Steve Stepp and Gene Whipp had it. they sold it to the late Jeff Galenti.
Jeff changed the name to Airbrook. Jeff and I raced it for a season. The transom was redone so many times, that it had a 1 inch alum. plate across the enite back of it. This was what was told to us by Steve Stepp and Gene Whipp. The boat may still be around the Brick NJ area.

Thank you
Jim

Racing on the Detroit River.

i live in brick and heard the same but have not seen it

One more at the dock, this time V-111.

Hello,

Last time that I saw it, it was at race up in Ma. this was a couple of yrs after Jeff had it. The new owners were from NJ.
We races it a season in the North East before Jeff got sick.
Think at one time when Steve Stepp and Gene Whipp had it, it also had Arneson Drives on it, when we got from them, it had TRS on it.
Think it had the Arneson's when it broke 100.

Thank you

Jim

It's seen better days guys, so let me know if you'd like to proceed.
I'm not looking to be a middle man here but out of respect to the yard owner I think it'd be best if I contact the owner and if they're interested I'll pass along the contact info for those that are still interested.
Feel free to PM/email me or if you think there's a better way, let me know.

See I f they are intrested in selling it and if it has a title, if you can track them down. It would be a cool project to restore to the right person for the right money.

me too

Hey Stickerboy!

Any idea what became of the Still Crazy Cougar hull?

Good luck with the new 30 Ryan...

That´s the great thing about this site - instant info on long lost and found bits of racing history! Amazing!

The Still Crazy Cougar becam the Coors Light boat run by Barrie/Roberts but the only ran it a few times. It sold out of Jacksonville (I think) stripped bare hull last year.

I love the dash on those mid 80's velocity's . They give me the same feel as late 60's early 70's mopar muscle cars,where youre sitting on top rather than inside.

Any of you know of a back seat i can get for a 85 22' ?

Velocity still builds the 22 the could probably get you one.

Thanx Ryan . I'll look up thier # .:D

It's so nice out today I had to give it some attn : .

1981 -

Very Cool!

Finally talked to the owner today. He hasn't given up on it. I told him about OSO so hopefully he'll get on here and share his ideas.
