Maricich is driving Ron Larson Its Quick Super Stock.

I think one of the "new" 20ft owners, Ed Carter, is Ron and Phil Carter's dad.


Snoopy, Rudy and Bill Coopers offshore boat. Crazy rig. Similar to the GN bottom, but larger, and the crew was in the very rear. I think the name came from the length of the nose of the boat.
Rudy entered that boat in a race and the techs claimed it was too short for the class, and Rudy glassed a broom handle to the deck and sent it back thru tech. I don't think the boat was all that, but they drove the shit out of the thing.
Whatever the case, they sure stacked up some wins!
