As one of the officers of the WWSRA, I can't recall any of the fast boats you mentioned. None of them are capable of going over 80 except Rivard's rayson craft A-0. I am also one of the organizers for the hydroplane races on Opechee aswell as the US Offshore races on Winnipesaukee. I'd like to know where you get your stories.

Are you trying to stir the pot?
