Hi Nige: If I am not mistaken Tom Gentry with John Connor ran that boat in the APBA worlds in Ft. Meyers in 1993. I took his son Norman as navigator with me and Omar Danial in the 43` Triple engine Scarab. We won super boat V class over Reggie in Ohio Steel, etc.. The Circus boat was named Gentry Eagle, and still in the pink colors, I`m not sure how they did in the race, I passed them a couple times, so they must have had problems.

This is mainly directed at Richie who I`m sure can clarify.

I have recorded Circus Circus as racing in 1991.
Team Gentry as 1993/4. (ex-Circus Circus)
Risky Business as 1994.(not the pink/white one a la Nigel pic)

Now I see Nigel`s pic which I assume could be 1992,it seems odd to revert back to Risky Business in 1994 (not the Nigel pic),or was Risky Business 1994 a new boat and not ex-Circus Circus or Team Gentry.

Ryan Beckley 04-01-2008 04:24 PM

Team Gentry(From The Last Pic) was it own boat. ALL of the other pictures are the Circus Circus/Risky Business/Gentry/Travis are the same boat.

Circus History
 
Thanks for your comments Ryan,but just to clarify.

Circus Circus - 1991
Risky Business -1992 (Pink/White)
Gentry - 1993/4
Travis -

So how does the Red/Yellow/White Risky Business fit in and what did the Gentry boat`s colours look like.Any idea of the years that Travis raced.I assume it was after 1994.So from all that it`s still looks like it went from the Pink/White Risky Business to Gentry and back to the Red/Yellow/White Risky Business,and then to Travis.

Here is one

The boat started from Steve Dorsich (sp) as CC. He used to race a boat "Risky Business" before he got the sponsor. So after the deal feel through he went back to Risky Business.

Steve sold the boat to Mike Mays from CP Performance who in turn sold the boat to Mike and Jess Travis.

It originally raced a set of 348" Turbo Charged Gentry Engines under the CC Banner. Then they went to Keith Black Aluminum engines and then the modern Super Cat Engines.

Ryan Beckley 04-07-2008 01:47 PM

The boat is till racing the POPRA circuit these days. It was pink when Gentry raced it a handful of times at the worlds before he got his own 40. I had forgotten the CP owned it for a bit. The bot still looks as it did in Post #5
