The model:  Danny made the molds for this boat himself.  He sacrificed his old Holset/Miss Madison in the process.  The Madison died for a good cause as the new boat looks great.  Danny entered his first season as a driver in 2007 and is getting his feet wet behind the wheel.   Good job Danny!

The real boat:  The "Winged Wonder" hit the scene in 1973 and right away established dominance in the sport that would continue for several years.  Mickey Remund drove the boat to a Championship in its initial season and George Henley then took over as primary driver for the next two titles in '74 and '75.  Bill Muncey then bought the boat and brought home yet another championship with the hull in 1976 as Atlas Van Lines.  The boat remained a solid competitor for many years after that and raced well into the 1980's.
