They are from the 1993 Quake on the Lake, or 1992 Race Rock Challenge. On Lake St Clair, at Metro Beach.

Jim was in that race but was driving the "2nd Mr. Goodwrench (i believe B) Boat (Challenger?)" with Joey Turek Jr. that day - which became Crazy Rhythm boat. I believe Joey still owns it up in St. Charles, IL, but no longer racing. The old Bertram pictured above - i saw it in 2006 at Donnie's shop in Easton, IL. Jim just bought donnie's older Bertram raced by Bennie Hana (sp?) - to restore...someday. Im sure jim could tell you more but hes out putting gas in the boat - heading out to watch the Florida Powerboat pokerrun go by.

We [ EASTERN EXPRESS] had alot of fun racing against Jim and his Challenger Mr Goodwrench in C class .

I glassed up the holes and raised the X-dim. on that Challenger @ Tyler's years ago it had small blocks in it then.

This is a great thread You guys are bringing back a lot of memories. Some of these boats are the reasone I am in this today. As a kid in the summers I spent my days at Wilmette harbor north of chicago waiting for Dynosoar, bennihana and bennihaha among others to come around. Alot of the boats would anchor around the Bahai Temple. Watching these guys come by as a group left it's impression for sure.

Thanks
