Here are some pic's of the Motor City Magic before & after the 1986 Key West sinking, ironhead is the one in the water. :eek: We put her back together and made it back to the Key West worlds in 1987. :drink:

After Big Bob K sold it [1988] she became I believe Bad To The Bone. After that around 1991 Pete Hiladgo [AMERICA DREAM] bought her added the beaks on, and raced in open class as the RAY BAN AMERICAN DREAM. Sadly in the Key West Worlds the cat flipped at the the start of the race killing the driver Peachy Perez. The crash was almost in the same spot that she sank as MOTOR CITY MAGIC. After that I heard she was seen in a boat yard in the Key's rotting away, today ??????
