My favorite hydroplane of all time.. I went to the races in Detroit every year from 1970- until 2018

Thanks much for the presentation and article, HRM, crew, Sarah-Mae & the Seattle Times. I would have liked to have seen some fire/oil protection though, especially for her hands - at least something.

The Pak Is Back! Love it. Now please, please add the 1980-82 turbine to the retro tour!!
