It was done in the winter of 1990-1991. It was the power plant for the Pro Gas Jet drag boat that Roger Austin and I campaigned the summer of 1991.

You can't see much of it but it's the 5th boat from the end [blue].

No sir, Roger Austin owned and drove the boat. The engine was my end of the deal.
