Vanished 1 VS1

Jerry Dunlap said:

Won a lot of 20 Stock Tunnel races with my S1 and VS1s. However, my most memorable finish was placing second to John Otto in a B Sport Tunnel run off back at Hobart a few years back. John and I played a real "Cat and Mouse Game" during the mill attempting to get lane one just prior to the start. John took the inside lane one on the backstretch right before the start and the Godfather of model tunnel racing "schooled" Dunny in that runoff.

Well.. I must say.. that was a good run.. the boat was designed in 1997 in the back room of the Hobby Master in Eau Claire WI.

I started building and testing shortly after.. it went to its first Internats in 1999 and placed 3rd.. we took it back in 2000 and won with a perfect score!

I sat on the boat and ponder it for a year so so and then decided to kit it. So in 2002 it made it to market.

in 2005 I sold the boat and all its rights to Hobbico in hopes that it would be come an AquaCraft Product. It did in 2007/8ish.

The fun thing about the boat is even though it can be tricky to make go fast when you have a flight of sport tunnels the Villain S1 / VS1, and the water is right.. you have a really fun race on your hands.

From me.. for what its worth.. Thanks to all that purchased and enjoyed the boat. Thank you AquaCraft (Russ) for allowing the boat to continue and your support as well.

That was a fun run!
