I TOTALLY AGREE Hal, I quit going to the Hydro races and time trials when the turbine boats came in. I worked close to Lake Washington.
However, Len Williams (who recently passed away) had a 32 roadster that had a gas turbine APU from a jet that he drove around Seattle. I remember it driving by me at our EFV8 RG's "Ford Picnic" in 1985 or 1986 when we held it at the Husky Stadium parking lot. It was for sale for 10k and at that time it might as well been 10 million for me. Harold LeMay bought it and is still in the family collection. Len Williams was a Boeing engineer.
