Power Struggle


A scene reminiscent of the early 80's...
The famous duals of Bernie Little's Rolls-Royce Griffon-powered Miss Budweiser and David Heerensperger's turbine-powered Pay 'n Pak.



Then and Now


What a beautiful sight!

Wahoo, we're up and running...

This photo was taken at Seafair 2009 of the recently completed Miss Wahoo replica.

She is being hoisted out of the water in the Stan Sayers Memorial Pits after an exhibition run on the Ted Jones race course.

Lake Washington, Seattle, WA

There's nothing like the sound and feel of a piston-powered unlimited hydroplane!
