The model:  Tim built this boat and used it to get his feet wet in Classic Thunder. Having built himself a new boat for 2024, he is now using the boat to introduce his son in-law Steven to the hobby. Steven immediately showed good driving skills and has done a great job when he has found time to come out and race. We hope to see him out more in the future, perhaps with a boat of his own.

The real boat:  The Nitrogen Too was owned by Sam DuPont and won the 1960 Silver Cup with a young Ron Musson behind the wheel. It was put into storage the next year after only one season of racing. It later became the second Miss Madison, winning the Gold Cup in 1971 with Jim McCormick driving.
