Yes, My name is Jim Lee, I was the driver. We won the race. I think there were some 6s with a few 8s but I didn't want to make it sound to dramatic. It was a great race and we had a great time in Argentina. It was on ESPN 2.

You didnt happen to tape it did you ? That was the roughest race I was ever in, and I raced the full circuit for 10+ yrs.

We were in a 40 skater, and I could see fish as they passed over my canopy, we didnt tape off our scoops, and the motors kept wanting to die.

I used to have the ESPN tape. I'll try to find it. Unfortunately Freeze Frame didn't put the on board cameras on board since it was in Argentina.

I think Rob Bass at the lake still has the tape. We watched it about a billion times. You were WAY out front needing to beat a certain time to catch Alcone in the points title I remember. You damn near did it!

I think that might of been one of the Key West races. They used to be a two race events and if you had one first place finish and one second place finish the shortest total time between first and second won the world title. Unfortunately we messed it by about 30 second or so that year. I think we still have the fastest Key West super boat average lap speed in SBI racing of 108mph. That's the race we pushed it to make up time for a first place win on the Sunday race in 1998. Nice memories. :D :drink:

We decided to remove the bow rail from the area between the sponsons. The painter did an excellent job of making the graphics have a finished and flowing look.

The same is being done on the transom. Will have pics later.

They also livened up the otherwise dull flame arrestors.
