Dale Fugier - Speaking of the Pay 'n Pak, here is the only color photo I've seen of the what-would-have-been '83 hull in its traditional white and orange livery. If anyone else has images, feel free to share - thanks!
Brad Haskin - So John Walters can pipe in here to make any corrections because I don't recall the details being included in his book...but the story as I recall it was thus: The boat in question was complete and ready to go for the 1982 season, but Jim Lucero insisted that the 1st turbine hull be the one that they raced. As the season went on and (in spite of the victory at Syracuse) the first hull had lots of teething problems, the team was getting frustrated that the 'new' boat was sitting unused. When confronted/asked about why, Jim Lucero's response was that he wanted to get the first hull running right so they could make more money when they sold it. That information was taken to Mr. Heerensberger who was upset enough that the plan after the '82 Seattle race was to let Lucero go from the team and run the 'new' boat for the remainder of the '82 season with Dixon Smith as crew chief. That obviously never came to pass because of the accident, and the only public appearance of the 2nd turbine Pak was when it was pulled through the 1982 Seafair Torchlight Parade on Friday night of Seafair weekend.
John Walters - Yes, this is accurate Brad. Sad, but true.
