Switzer Wing: Firebird?
Bob V
I saw the El Lobo at Clearwater with the Chryslers. The driver was being coached by George Thompson (anybody remember George?) Could the other Wing have been Tommy Sikes? If it was, I don't know where he 'got' it.

He had a double decker trailer and used to travel the circuit all across the country.

BTW, as long as we are on the subject, anyone rmember Joe Bonano, every one called him joe banannas? He raced in the early-mid 70's in the clearwater area (maybe longer). I am really trying to reach him, if anyone can help I would really appreciate it.

"The 2nd photo is from an ad in Powerboat, October,1968. The boat is a Rayson Craft with ( I think ) triple 1250's......it won Havasu in 1967 driven by Bill Cooper, Rudy Ramos and Mike Reagan ( the President's son ) - this same boat also won in 1966."...........Willabee
Willabee,
Did Mike Reagan do alot of racing in that era? Could he actually drive a boat? I know he did some offshore racing in the 80s. Just wondering.

I think Howard Eis's boats were called Supercats, too

Mark75H ......The boat that Eis campaigned forever was a Stylecraft which he called an Eis Super Cat. I always thought that was because he had made so many modifications to the hull over the years. Do you suppose that Stylecraft had a model that they called Super Cat?

Or Eis sold modified Stylecrafts that he called Supercats

RE: Muck...Muck
I think, if memory serves me right, that the driver's/ owner's name was Mike Rutterham or perhaps it was spelled Rudderham, that had the Cobia with twin 1250 BPs. Does that ring a bell with anyone?
