ohhh, a comedian eh?
Maybe Elvis was the throttleman, Jimmie Hoffa was the navigator, and The Second Gunman on the Grassy Knoll ran the pits...
I called Fountain. It was not a race dedicatd to the two of them. Fountain did a promo video where my boat passed Johnson and the caption was "Bye, bye moviestar..." I'm supposed to get a video and info on this. When I do, I'll let all of you know.
Mike J- you can tell Elvis yourself

I saw that scene on an early 90's video that Fountain used to send out for free upon request. It had a short spot on each model as well as some video of Reggie's racing efforts and an interview in his office. I do not have that video any longer but I am sure many people do have it.
I think the race in question was a regular race either in FL or on Lake Ponchatrain if I remember correctly. It definately was NOT a 10 Meter Fountain. In the video, the only raceboats featured were a 42 and that 47 w/triples. Can't remember which one was in the particular spot that he went by Don J. It was at the start of the race if I remember correctly. Right after the green flag and Reggie left everyone. He made that comment on his intercom as went by Don. I think he won the race (or they wouldn't have shown it in the video).
Anyone else have a copy of the FOUNTAIN promo video of the early 90's?
