Mike has had the Oberto since joining CT in 2005.  The boat has had some consistency problems, but Mike is making changes in the setup and is getting more comfortable driving.  The boat is plenty fast and will hopefully finish more and more heats.

The real boat:  This boat was one of Fred Leland's first boats as a driver and an owner.  It campaigned under many names such as Coors Light an American Speedy Printing and several others.  In fact, this boat may have set a record for the number of name changes on one hull.
