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.

Tom Akoury Throttled "Black Duck". The name of which is interesting... A trivia question. What was the name of the other boat that was in that factual book about prohabition era rum runners?

The two (2) red aluminum Dirty Laundrys were both CUV's (That's a boat manufacturer from Italy) and the larger, newer 4 engined hull is the one pictured.....
There was one red, white and blue, Cougar (boat manufactured in England) previous to those hulls called Dirty Laundry and it had air compression issues in the tunnel to the extent that it didn't carry a load well and ran very "wet"...not a good Poker Run platform. That is the hull this thread is about.
Prior to those three big boats (Open and Superboat class), Joe was very successful in the modified class with a 32 Skater (boat built in Michigan) "Dirty Laundry" that I believe was later sold to the Duntemans and became "Agitator".... a VERY competitive boat to be sure.
