I remember with great fondness watching the Miss Budweiser with Chip Hanauer battle the Winston Eagle and the Tide and T-plus and Kelloggs Tony the Tiger. This occured in the 90s. I taped every race for years on VHS. I still have them and go back and re-watch those years of racing. Very nostolgic for me. Im going to check youtube for some of them so that you can relive some of those races with me. I remember one race in particular. It was in Madison Indiana, the home town of the Tony the Tiger boat. The most exciting race ever for me was the second or third heat, Budweiser was deck to deck with Mark Tate in the Winston Eagle. The Winston Eagle took it but it was flat out racing right on the edge the whole way. You could hear those Gas Turbines screaming and you knew that the pedal was to the floor and there was no more. AWESOME!!!!
