Found these news paper pictures in my box of stuff from the June 1983 Detroit River Race. The race was 178 miles for open class & over 100+ miles for Sport, Modified, Production classes. Sadly this would be the last time we could race through the Bellisle bridge & on the upper Detroit river. The first pic is Home town Detroit racers Bob & Rob K in the 33' Active M-588 COUGAR, running next two them, the Shadow cat LOVE IT.
In the second picture BIG Bob K was perfecting his wave to the spectators, while Rob [ironhead] sinks lower in his bolster.
Next to COUGAR is Butch Ryan's 37' Active cat EXPRESS. ![Ernaehrung004](/forums/images/smilies/ernaehrung004.gif)

When I was at the 2010 Key West worlds I saw this 32' Active cat in the dry pits that was racing in the P-2 class. What a surprize, it was the old BLUE MAX
Active cat from Lake St Clair. I believe it was hull #2 as the [M-588 COUGAR,, M-17 MOTOR CITY MAGIC] was hull #1, all built around 1981, 1982 in Algonac Mi. With the ad on beaks removed & new paint & rigging she looked very good for 28 years old, better than she did in the later days as Blue Max. ![Drink](/forums/images/smilies/drink.gif)
