I have been around Hydroplane Race boats all of my life. I grew up in Madison Indiana and I can still here the roar of the Miss Madison's Allison engine and the roar the Budwiser and Atlas Van Lines Rolls Royce engines running on the Ohio river. I have been blessed to have been introduced and to have met some of the greatest individuals in the sport of Hydroplane racing such as Bernie Little, Bill Muncey and Tom D'eath and local Madison hero's such as Bill Cantrell, Graham Heath and Jon Peddie.
