here is something I found in some old 8mm film ,,, this was a sign hanging in Spikos showroom.... advertising there new jet world record 98.11 miles per hour at lake ming..... I have surprizing video of early drag boat races,, early 60s... You might not know this but drag races used to start on the west shore heading east...... I grew up on Lake Ming racing with my dad, he pulled me skiing behind k-boats racing other skiiers.... on long woodin skiis and a 150 rope.... I think it is way too dangerous anymore.......Randy
