Tony who?
Scarlata.
I know. It was a joke along time ago! Like Dave Rankin and anti-seize!
I never saw that it had an open bow. That has to be the only one.
Rankin and anti-sieze? That sounds like an interesting one, can you share? (Pm if preferred)
sad part jerry heres how i bought it back like 6 yrs later camera date wrong
I use to see her often at a lil sandwich shop in El Segundo .
Where is the anti-seize!
And, not the kind of boats most on this site are interested in.
Hey Jerry, you should ask Dave to make this a sticky thread. Probably won't because it's boating content.
The others don't know what they are missing! You Shan and Clank are posting up some great history.
I look at it at least 10 times a day
Some from the 2006 World Finals. Hmm, not many pictures of drag boats, shocking.

Not sure why Biesemeyer boats is on the K16 as it’s a Spitfire? John Guthrie Sr. and Jr. both drove the K16 Shocker. John Jr. would later drive the K66 boat for the Blown Brothers and later purchased and drove the K66. Lots of great memories racing with these guys!Some from the 2006 World Finals. Hmm, not many pictures of drag boats, shocking.

I know it makes my day seeing your pictures! Bob Bolton has tons of race photos from the old days but I don’t think he is on this website.
That was a head scratcher for me too. I don't know the history.
Just in case you missed Clank heading out for a Banzai run.I look at it at least 10 times a day
Looks like Firebird and I don’t think Larry was at that race. We did the motor for the K16 then.
It's people like you that make it all possible. Thanks Warren!All 10 of us really enjoy & appreciate the awesome photo's y'alls b postin tho...
It was - 2006.
The new generation!
Well at least one the those ten is asking you to keep it going.
It was back in the SSRA/SSRS days, when we had "local/race" sponsors, we would have stickers made and put the sponsors name on the boats. Usually it was drawn out of a stack and that's who you got.
Yore welcome, just doing what little I can. Haha
That makes sense!
I miss HUD from the old Performance Boat days! Always funny comments.
Probably the same 10 of us that check out the “too early” thread.
I hear he's trying to do another one at NMP, but I haven't heard it it out of his mouth because I haven't talked to him. Apparently his phone is broken when I call him.
Dumb question. Where’s nmp?I hear he's trying to do another one at NMP, but I haven't heard it it out of his mouth because I haven't talked to him. Apparently his phone is broken when I call him.
