Hi all, am hoping some of you can help me out. I owned Miss Cigarette, a 1979 28SS, from 1997 till 2001. I raced her in the GLOPRA Great Lakes circuit in 1998 and 1999, and at the St. Pete APBA Championship in 1999. I am trying to locate some of the old crew. I know some were on here in the past, but it does not seem like they are active anymore. I would like to find them and reconnect and see if anyone has any pictures from back then as well.

I am also looking for the individual who ran Freeze Frame Video and would have filmed the 1999 APBA World Championship in St. Pete. I know they have video and stills of my old boat but I have lost the information that was given to me at the time.

The last I knew, Randy M. owned her and she was up in St. Clair Michigan. Not sure if he still has her or not, would like to find the current owner as well.

Andy Bloom from the Cleveland area was my throttle man in 1998.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

That's one nicely preserved 28SS.

Thanks, it was and hopefully still is a fantastic boat!

Still have my shirt!

In my opinion, one of the best looking designed shirts EVER! I can't remember name of the company that ran them for me, but they ran the GLSCS shirts as well. I created the boat art in Corel Draw, they added the crew in the boat and stacked the images. I actually still have a few left over in storage boxes although not sure what sizes I have left. I still have the matching hat that I wore at the St. Petersburg APBA championships in 1999. If don't mind me asking, J-Bonz what's your first name and where did you get the shirt?

Hi Tim?

First name Jack, thinking I bought it at the boat show, can’t remember anymore. As asked above are you Tim?

Very nice

Hi J, just saw the response, yes this is Tim, former owner of Miss Cigarette.
