I'd guess this:

2008 Super V Unlimited World Champion: #77 Crowned in Key West

The #77 Lucas Oil Outerlimits team sped the revolutionary SV43 Outerlimits (powered by Chief Engines and Whipple Superchargers) to victory in the SBI / APBA / UIM Key West event in early November. Drivers Nigel Hook, Joe Sgro, and Mike Fiore raced the high powered V-hull to beat out the 47' Fountain dubbed "Cat Killer."

The OL boat won with 927.5 points versus the Cat Killer's 925 points, yes by 2.5 points. Fountain dominates the sport so overwhelmingly that when a win by any other manufacturer happens it's a big deal...well for the other manufacturer.
Good job OL.
Oh and I just heard a can of whip azz pop open down in Washington, N.C.

Outerlimits is no good. Without the Fountain bow, you'd better prepare for a wet ride if you run in much side wind and real swells. Fountain is a lot more developed. OL fiberglass work is good though.

you gotta finish to win...on the friday race the cat killer lost a blower belt and the OL also had an issue so they both tooled around at about 60 mph...on Sunday's race after a lap and a half the cat killer almost had a 1/2 lap lead when it broke..I guess the OL strategy at that point was just to finish and in the process got lapped by a Fountain with 525s that was in a different class..not a good showing by either boat IMO...however when it appeared both boats were running strong the Cat Killer was completely dominant....but you gotta finish to win and thats about all the Ol did
