Lars Strom is with Carina Strom.

I am pretty sure my Skater 32 with 3 X Evinrude V8 High Performance 2 stroke outboards could still beat many of today's cats at the ShootOut.. This is 34 years ago..

Didn't the F1 boat win the fixed distance drag?

@Lake X Kid Thanks.

In 1982 there were three JPS F1-V8 boats.
The third boat was #12 Francois Salabert of France.

I read the F1 boats won 2 out of 5 races. And Bob Spalding had the best boat time/fastest speed.
