Yes I belive Courtney was in the boat with Don At the 1998 Shake The Lake race in Wisconsin. Don had just put a new pair of Keith Eckhart engines in the Bertram and it rocked. I think they had the Mr Recycler name on her by than. They were leading the race and just as they were coming in to compleat there first lap the Bertram rolled over. Courtney was hurt but not seriously. I was one of the APBA offshore referees that day, having to red flag the race. At that time I believe Don & Courtney did have something to do with Mach 1. The bertram pic's here have Jim Angles & Don in the boat.

Thanks for the info guys. I was up in Burlington Iowa the other night and this subject was brought up. Now my friend who is older than I am remembered most of the Mach 1/munson/onken stuff and has agreed that it was Courtney that was thrown. Amazing stuff throughtout the years!!!

Great pix by the way

We were right behind them in Let It Roll. Courtney went over the dash and bounched off the deck. We turned sideways on the course in front of the helicopter to block oncoming traffic. Cat Can Do almost took us out in the old Motioncat.

I remeber seeing the orange streak across the deck from Courtneyshelmet. scarey stuff.

I was at Don's lake house at LOTO several years ago and I believe he might have a VHS tape of the spin that someone took from shore. He was showing me a couple of tapes of Mr. Goodwrench running back in the day and I swear one of them was of the boat stuffing backwards after spinning out in a turn and I want to say that was up in WI.

Yes that is Don and Jim Agles. I believe Jim sells real estate down in the Cape Coral area now. I ran into him at Dog Days a few years back at the Shootout. He was in a Spectre cat I believe. Don did have an ownership stake in Mach 1.

does any body know what happened to the Goodwrench boat. and does she still have the surface drives.
