The v8 top speed machine holds a strong memory from me but it seems silly to showcase just one element. Top fuel drag boats are in their own league of awesome, as are the formula one and as are the offshore rigs. None of them are really even similar they are all the pinnacle within their designs.

A consumer class could also really be represented well by hydrostream because of their very successful
popularity and influence on so many.

Hummmm, maybe the world record holder ? If you could pry it away from down under.

Part of me died when Lucas Oil killed the Augusta race. RR

The unlimiteds have 100 years of history, so that was my vote

The Outboard powered Wing Boats, would be an eye opener for the non boating public.
And with the Stack exhaust pipes would add another dimension to the Wing Boat exhibit.

Red Bird - a Switzer Wing.

Switzer Wing, Mach Props boat or one of Billy's F1 boats. Nothing else is even reasonable. The performance of a champ boat is something that far too many sports enthusiasts have not experienced and that is a shame. The hardest turning racing vehicles on earth deserve more attention.
