I didn't know Isis was into boat racing (21:00)? See what happens to people when they leave boating.

There are several British videos from the '60's showing the "Daily Express International Race"

I never knew that Roger Penske raced offshore powerboats back in the 70's.

Roger Penske teamed up with multi National Champion Bob Magoon to win, the biggest race at the time, the Benihana Grand Prix in a 40' Cigarette "Cam II"

Anybody notice why Bob Nordskog's 35 Cigarette was the world speed record holder. This is a test for you bench racers to see if you can figure it out. there is a big difference in his boat than the others.
