Also listed on the CDBA schedule. They are co-sponsors I think.

I think that the boat is called "Arizona Thunder." Jamie L. drives it and is sponsored by Turbo Auto Diesel (?) in AZ. I believe that it has a twin turbo'd Chrysler (Brad motor). It runs good!
This may not be accurate as it is from my memory.

Yes it is a turbo boat and it is Arazona Thunder and the boat # is 143. I have not talked to him in many years (8) and would like to touch base with him again.
BTW-PM me with any info
Thanks

At one time it had a BBF in it, then it had a BBC in it, I am not sure what he is running now, like I said it has been about 8 years or so.

Squirtin Thunder. Jamie and Art Nolte sold the PM boat and went funny car racing with the CIFCA. I bought one of thier hydros a few years back. Really cool people. If you need to, I can get you in touch with Art Nolte. I think Jamie lives in Sacramento.
