That's me on Dexter Resivoir just outside of Eugene, Oregon. That's after I first installed my 402 BBC that Tim Briggs built up for me. I clocked 111mph in 12 second in that run.

I owned that boat for 20 years and should have never sold it. It was very fast and 100% reliable. A guy named Rick Baker bought the hull brand new and then installed all the running gear and raced it very successfully on the west coast for years.

After owning a Sanger Drag boat for so long it's hard to get it out of my system so someday I'd like to get another one.
