First boat to ever go 100+ in the 1/4 mile. Only went 97+ in this article, but later was the first boat to exceed 100 in the quarter.
Funny that in the 50's and very early 1960 the flats were the fastest accelerating boats on earth. Took a little while to get a hydro to accelerate like a flat. Even when the hydros did over take the flats, it wasn't by much, for a long time. When jack Davidson's White Mist hydro was hitting 110, Rudy's flat was doing 100.
