Scott,
I remember Mr Zip when it was a twin engine boat. Sorry, No I don't have pictures.
GB
Time does fly. We used to play HARD.
Sorry Guys I missed a bunch of years in the early nineties. I will go thru my piles and scan more programs and such after this race season.

They also had a Cat once with ZIP EXPRESS but not an AEROTEK.

Would like to meet you.

I may be mistaken, but my memory usually serves me well. There was a boat owned by a guy in Virgina Named Wayne, he owned a corvette shop. It was a twin engine A boat back around '88 or so. It was clean clean. I remember it named Mr Zip.

Jim ,.......could be that he had owned a a-boat befor the Aerotek.
But the MR.ZIP Aerotek was and still is a single.
He also raced it in a-class but it was built in 91/92.
So i quess we are both right .LOL
I just try to find all the history from my boat, as you know that is the MR.ZIP AEROTEK.
For the $ ispend to rebuilt it ,i could of both a new one.
Ya just gotta love it................

Snap-On pace boat
It was my first year. i didn't know it existed before then. I returned the following year and helped my friend Art Lilly race the Joker a stock B boat. I returned a dozen times or more since. I first raced there in 94 and again in 98. I am looking forward to going this year.
Thanks, Wayne

The twin engine Mr Zip was originally this Predator powerboat, [Magnum copy] it was also called Little Miss Dangerous. The hull was built by Jim Clem of Lancer, Aero , Predator, & Awesome powerboat Fame. She was owned and raced by Dan Humes from Michigan around 1987.

Memories - had a lot of fun back then. Great pictures, thanks for sharing!
Post #70 - Bam, Liberty & Obsession, the way I remember it Danger zone won the first race, can't remember where we placed then Obsession (Bob Oetringer) won the second with us right behind. Danger Zone had blown an engine and was using someone's spare for the second race so we were able to get by them. That was particularly painful as I had lent Bob the props he used to beat us.
