So we had this race from Chicago to Michigan City and back in '81. I entered one of the first Shadow Cats and it was perhaps the roughest racing water I had ever seen.... The Bam cigarette was the start/flag boat...and had some new fangled transmissions...anyway after the start of the first wave of boats....it sunk....we didn't but my partner/wheelman, Don Lostumbo, broke an ankle half way through the race. The turn boat was a 58'Hatteras. The seas were so big that you couldn't see that boat until you were maybe 75 yards away from it..

The end.

Boy, do I remember that race. Probably the roughest race I was ever in. While turning on that Hatteras, we hit a hole and couldn't see the Hat for the life of me. Thank God I had some knowledge of what Hats looked like, because there wasn't much to see.

That boat had a lot of "one off" stuff on it, first set of #5 extent ion boxes, one of the first sets of #5's, Latham shifters and throttles etc.

Cig,
That's my Magnum Starfire, hull #388, that was outside Toronto for most of its life. Now fully restored and living on Long Island. I spoke to you I think a few years back before I bought it. It was also a catalog boat from 1979.

Someone here posted this picture from a visit to 188th st. in 1979. I couldn't believe it.
