It was B-Fast and run out of Boca Grande marina on Lake St Clair. Tom Havey was the owner/driver and Ralph Provitz throttled it.....Louie was the navigator/glassguy.....

Tom still has it. Talked to him for a few hrs over the phone. guy has some great stories of racing.

Anyone got any more pictures of this boat it raced till the year 2000,

Its sitting at Boca Grande marina still too, sits next to a pantera that was the old CT Peppers race boat.
