I don't think this one was Johnny, this 36 was a '99 and originally raced as the Fountain Mercury in Super Cat and dominated the 2000 season with Hugh Fuller and Jerry Gilbreath. They were so dominant that APBA kept making them add weight to slow them down and it never did, they just kept winning. It was a really light layup race 36.

Jerry tells awesome stories about that boat on a podcast he did last summer. Jerry was my hero back then with Alcone. Now THATS what Skaters are built for. Alcone, Dambuie and Big Thunder going at it Key West 1999. EPIC.
Not shootouts with pro mod engines

I'll ask again I think it got lost but does this mean that no X Insurance sponsored boats will be at Cocoa Beach?

after promising to honor the Contract cocoa beach already signed. And became a secondary sponsor. They took their ball and went home. No X Insurance teams are running. Pretty shifty if you ask me to do this so close to the race. I don't even care what the whole story is. I carecabout integrity. X INSURANCE is showing me zero integrity.
