Turbine Pak:  Brent bought the boat from Bill McGraw for 2009 as it has always been his favorate boat.  He raced a 1/16 scale version of the same boat in recent years.  Brent had major work done to refurbish the boat with the help of Harold Mills and it immediately paid dividends as the boat claimed third place in the opening race of the season. Look for more good things as Brent works on the boat setup.

 

Turbine Pay’n Pak:  This ultra-light hull was launched in 1980.  It was reported as being less than 6000 lbs. Driver John Walters blew the boat over in a test run at the ’80 Columbia Cup.  The boat later raced as the backup Tosti Asti.  Mike Hanson later installed a canopy on the boat and raced it as the Sutphen Spirit in ’87 and ’88.  The hull suffered a blowover accident and has not been raced since.
