The model:  This is Dale's 6th Miss Seattle, replacng the boat that brought Dale his first CT championship in 2006.  It debuted at the 2009 Diamond Cup.  The boat and driver are top notch and will likely be a formidable combination for years to come.  Dale has years of experience racing RC boats and cars and will give you a run for your money as a skilled driver and is always one to watch.

About the real boat: Originally built as the Slo-Mo-Shun V.  She was rebuilt and renamed for 1956 following the Slo-Mo’s famous flip in ‘55 Gold Cup qualifying attempt.  She never regained the level of performance of her earlier years.
