The 1st and 2nd boats in the line up are some of our stuff..........1989-1990.

I know that first one! Now was the second boat the one that held the PGJ record for awhile?

Hey Lem, you still got that nice video that was made of your Daytona? I seen it awhile back but can't remember where, if you have it could you post it up somewhere? Thanks

Very nice!

Thanks guys !!! that is a really cool pic of the boats on the rope !!! I dont know if anyone is familiar with a guy named Rick Green out of Pomona,ca. but he is the Ford guy i grew up around and I bought the boat and motor from. when i bought it all, it was at 750hp ive just took the ball and ran with it....

Looks like it might be a A460 headed motor with a Holmes TR that used to be in your boat, but thats just a guess from how tall the TR looks.

That was what Rick ran before he finished the boss motor !! they had a stable full of ford motors. He was a big ford guy.

Wow, Lem, I didn't know that "Quick & Easy" was in the family for so long.

Here's a clip of a pass when it had the 665 cubic inch combo in it, running in the 9's with a throttle stop. This clip has audio. Click HERE.

How's Rick doing....haven't talked to him in years.

Ricks good !! hes hiding up in northern california in Redding. I think he has a little drag car he runs once in a while and is enjoing the quite life.

Looks like a lot of fun.
