The model: This is a very fast boat with a very unique ride. Chuck has placed the motor as far forward as he can and reduced the prop angle as a result. Chuck winters in Arizona and comes north in the spring to get his hydroplane racing done and is often accompanied by his dog, Benny.

The real boat: The boat was owned and driven by Chuck Thompson of Detroit. She was formerly named Tempo VII and was later campaigned as Miss Detroit, Miss D.C. and St. Regis.
