Bummer. It's a very racy looking boat! Love the shorter length with the staggered motors. But probably for the best, since un-repairable boats keep me from having to live in my car (after my wife kicks me out for brining home another pile!).

Here's a program from Point Pleasant 1989 .
The cover boat is a Shadow Cat " Pipeline Express " owned by Bob Schug and throttled by Richie Danscision .
They were great guys and tough competitors .
I spoke to Richie recently and he is well . I hope Bob is well also .

You sure may , anything in particular you're looking for ?
Or should I scan and post it all ? It's about 30 pages .
Featured boats include Kurt's Smokey and the Bandit , Lethal Weapon , Spirit of NJ , Team Hydra , Koncrete Kat , Shock Wave , Finish Line and of course the famous Fever .
Let me know and I'll work on it .
Here's another cover . Isn't that a great shot of P 15 ?

This was a divisional race , no UIM 1 boats . I will see if I have some and will let you know , I do have the Atlantic City Trump program circa 1988 . One of the Italian teams invited us for lunch in their hospilality trailer at that event . What a gourmet selection they had ! We were like peasants in comparison .
Regards ,
Serafino
PS , did you see the F1 today ? Too bad about Massa . GO FERRARI !

Sorry Serafino,but I am for McLaren.
However the F1 today it's a stupid Circus Barnum.

Jim, no sooner had I read you message to BT about Massa (to my handheld via email alerts) than I looked at the TV and said "Dang what's going to happen to Massa!?" and then immediately saw him spin off into the gravel. TiVo... a blessing and a curse!

I personally prefer sportscars to F1, but the production quality and resolution is so good on the F1 races, that it's hard for me not to enjoy it, even if it is a political circus!
