The model:  Built by Mark for the 2012 season.  The boat is plenty fast, but has big shoes to fill, replacing his 2011 champion Miss Thriftway.  The boat looks to be up to the task.

The real boat:  The boat was owned by "Gentleman" Jim Herrington from Lapeer, Michigan and driven by Norm Evans and Warner Gardner.  It started its competitive life as Miss Spokane in 1958.
