The model:  Mike built this beautiful model from an ML Boatworks laser cut wood kit as his first boat in Division 3. He began racing it at the beginning of 2023 and it has performed well and consistently scored points for him. Mike's a great guy and we hope to see it and Mike out here racing with us for years to come.

The real boat:  This boat was driven by Mark Evans in 1994 as the primary boat of the two-boat Exide team in 1994. Mark and the team expected the generous sponsorship from Exide Batteries to continue, but Exide did not return for 1995.
