The truly amazing Willie Diaz, they didn't call him "El Boss" for nothing.

Re: Chris Cats
It is not mine but a close friend, we live in Indiana and boat at cumberland, brookville, and the river. The boat came out of Texas, the pic was taken before he changed the numbers.

Willie Diaz and "El Boss" made a lot, if not most of the Open Class boats look slow in its day. I saw him race a few times over the years back then, and he was amazing and always on the mark.
Happy Thanksgiving to all
Thank you

Yes - Dustin Whipple's 28 Eliminator with the Hemi's. I've got it down right now removing the gatlin mufflers from the tailpipes and upgrading some other hardware. It's a sweet ride and damn fast.
Some time after King Sting he had Gone Again - which my other neighbor has now - upgrading to Fuel Injection and some other "minor" mods... LOL!!
Happy Turkey day!!!
