The last Time I saw it was Neworleans race ,probably close to when he got out? 1991-92

It was 4 engines red,prob the 50,theres a pick around the net of it perfectly straight up and it came back down, the average speed was 104. that was dragging a broke off drive.it was a ruff race.

I think I have a pick of it in the pits from that race

Unhappy

smitty smith was a funny guy, I was talking to him at 94 kw, talked about him and joe mach, and I tend to talk a lot, so my wife said can you take him for a ride and he sad sure he can sit on my lap. he was throttling the yellow couger from canada I think a 38 footer, could be wrong. its sad he passed away too. that was when gentry rolled went in to a coma that sucked and passed away years later.I was talking to BOBBY MOORE the winning throttleman after the race in open class 94, I was happy that he won but we were sad about TOM , NOT KNOWING how he was doing.that was a good week of racing I think there was over a 100 boats.

It was a 36 and I bought the boat from Joe. I Sold it to the "rivited" guys from VA/MD area. Errol Linear was taking care of the boat the last time I saw it.

I bumped into him in High Street, Southampton (UK) and he had time to chat to me - didn't know me from Adam but I guess he realised I was a fan. He was a gentleman. This pic from KW 94 - the time you speak of I think.

Midocean: Do you have any pics of the boat. Have you seen the Big Seas footage of the boat running in big seas? That boat seems like it would make a great poker runner, how did it run for you?
Thanks: Matt

The Cougar was last seen "Pleasurized" somewhere in Texas. The boat that is in Md/Va is the last CUV that Rivited had .....ex Ohio Steel....the green one.
