I was just looking through the record books today, and saw the GX-480 in the 1/3, 1/4 and straight aways records, with Driver Rick Grim, and of course I'm sure Paul Renna was a part of it, as he, and others have really helped move this tunnel lineup forward. Congrats to all of you guys. Ultimately, this got me thinking of the person who had the biggest hand in the original design, the other "L" in "L&L Special, Dick Loeb. His incredible forward thinking, that not many got to see, put this design on paper, and here it is 9 years almost to the day later, and this gas tunnel is still on top! Amazing. This was probably one of the boat designs Dick was most proud of. He loved tunnels, and when Buddly Lowe first put the prototype on the water in Charleston, SC, it just clicked. Keep up the good work all of you.
