After Rob and Pat, I recall the boat being campaigned as ‘Hauling Glass’, in the mid 90s. I also remember it being a twin engine “A” boat, when it was called “Kamakizi”, and then a “A” and the “B” boat as ‘Hauling Glass’ due to the rules changing to toss twin engine boats out of “A” class. I do remember it being a completive “A” boat.

Ran as A-33 “Kamakizi” 90,91 & 92
I think it was A-32 Hauling Glass by 93

I do not recall them running against Fever, who was in “B” class. But the time we all got moved to “B” class (1995 season), Joe S. was driving for Peter Meyer in Instigator (the activator, then the fountain).

"Lil Rhino" was bought by Gilly and I ran it for him under the name "Holiday Isle's Rum Runner" until "Footy" from Y-100 took the boat for a season or two.,

If your question was meant for me

Frank Fasulo
Owner A-1-, A-19, B-19 Runaway (worlds fastest) 28 Magnum.
Key west winners 1990 A class
Key West winners 1992 (world champs) A class
A class 1993, they said we (twin engines) were to fast for the class
A class 1994, mandatory restrictor plates, ran even faster
1995 thrown out of A class, took year off to convert B class
B class 1996-1999
1996 dominated our first B class race
1997 rules changes again, now C boats in B class, took year off
1998 3 rd place national high points champion, now D boats in B class
1999 3 rd place national high points champion, now super V boats in B class
1999 30 th anniversary Point Pleasant B class winner

The boat started out A class, T/355cid about 400hp, 60s-low 70s
The boat ended up B class (that was a joke) running against C, D, Open and boats that latter ran in Super V class, T/374, high compression, 14:1, monster, 680+hp side, over 100mph.

Hulls #1 & 2 were the S-254 Rhino and the M-793 Wolverine, hull number 3 was the P-111 LaSalle. All 3 boats were to race in each APBA prodution class back in 1976. The LaSalle pictured here, is as it raced, and today. It is still here on Lake St Clair. Ironhead when can I shot some pictures of your restoration of the P-14 Anaconda Magnum that raced the LaSalle ??? I need pic's, my attic is still to cold .
