Constructed of 104 milk cartons, this craft will compete in the design category, where entries must float but don't race. There are about 200 hours of work in the Lake Forest Park neighborhood project. Kneeling beside Bryce James (14), the driver was Mike Gowey (19) crew chief and designer. The others were Chet James (17) left and Brent James. The hydroplane has a skin of cardboard and paint.
