Default 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.

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.

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

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?
