Scale Bio:
This Bud was run by my son and he ran over the cowling at a race. After not running for over two years, I decided that it was time for me to get it on the water. The '79 Miss Tri- Cities has been a great boat for me but it is time to change. Brian said that the Budweiser will be a better boat for me and better to drive. This we will have to see. Anyway we will start the 2008 season with it and the Miss Tri-Cities will be the back up boat. I said years back that I would never drive anything else, let alone a Budweiser boat. Sorry Bernie. 'The jet' will go out in style.
