Good lord! That´s quick.

Amen......... kinda makes all of the speed claims today look tame eh?

By the way there were others that got up to 120 or so during the same time period.

One of these older wooden versions got up to about 100....... with a pair of 80 hp engines.

How many of you guys got hurt due to steering related failures

Switzer wing
 

Crikey,fancy seeing the switzer wing 68 again. This boat was the catalyst for the cougar cats after James Beard visited the Parker 9hrs.

My dear friend Darren: Thank you for that picture, I have it in my memorabilia, hope you are well, I follow your racing endeavors, and they touch home with me. You are the best. We`re going to have to find a set of my old 1250 stackers to run on your boat some time, just for nostalgia. I have a lot of test time in the old wings while I was a kid test driver at Lake X. once they put me in they couldn`t get me out, I took everyones turn, it used to take me hours before I could hear again after a couple hour run with the stackers and quickies. Have fun with the toy, be careful, one day I want to see it run.
I am always here for you and your dad, be well. your friend
