The KT’s are impressive. But they are not ‘Hot Multis’

What Ted is doing with some old wings is awesome--over 50 years old

This is the true definition of ‘Scream’—-‘Fly’—

Technically, you are correct, but don't forget that those KT's featured on the cover of Powerboat were Hot Multi's long before they were converted to KT's. One of them finished 2nd at the Havasu OWC in 1970 and then won that race the next year. I think the other finished 2nd at the OWC in 1969.

BTW - you posted that picture at 12:25 A.M.! Up kinda late for an Old Fart don't cha think?

Bill and I rigged the boat at Lake X--November, 1967. LONG races were the NORM--3 hours; 6 hours; 9 hours---FIFTY GALLON each side!!

Use your imagination and try to picture a wing carrying six hundred pounds of fuel--

Gene is diffently- affable (easy going- good natured and easy to talk too) and never stops smiling

PS- I changed the gas fill to the side more when I was restoring redbird as I got tired of standing on ladder and trying to get the gas in when filling especially with AV gas
