I have a few, so I am going to break the rules.
1- Coal Cat- Damn that Butch Kropfeld! If it was running, it was tough to beat him! Funny that it is now the Bluewater Special
2- Mr. Bud Staudacher- Same goes for Jim Kropfeld. When that boat was on, it was hard to beat!
3- Orange Crush 7 litre II- Stole the 1981 7 litre II Nationals as far as I am concerned. How could that old design Staudacher beat two new ones? Oh yeah, Marty Niles! Snaked Earle and Jim at the start 2 heats in a row!
