to whom ever posted pics thank you
I have about 12, which I took with Troy in the Tri-Cities in 86. Some are from the bottom of the hull. The guys from the Frank Kenney and Squire Shop crews were kind enough to let me get up on top of the trailers to get the photos. I have photo's fom Tri-Cities in 86-88 and some other years on slides I will have to go through them.

Dave, do you have any closeup shots of the engines in the 1988 U-9 Stroh Light?
Brian, wouldn't Roger Newton be a good source? Also David put his electric Tempus up for sale on Ebay. He posted a pic of the bottom and it doesn't look like it has a skid fin.

david did run turn fin on his troy talked to roger and the boat did run a fin just was looking for all the pics i could get of it
Glenn,
I have almost a whole roll that I shot of the Stroh's on the trailer. It looks like there are some failry good shots of them in the boat with the cowl on. Lots of detail on the paint scheme. What do you want to know? It was a pair of naturally aspirated Big Block Ford protoype engines running around 1100hp each. They were coupled like the old twin engine dragsters from the 60's. I remember the nitrous having a problem and the intake manifold from one of the engines got launched over our head (Troy and myself) on Saturday or might have been Friday. It ran much better than the Eliminator, that thing was loud and did not get anywhere. Now it greats you going into the park at the Tri-Cities. A fitting end to a short and lackluster career! The Stroh's actually got up on plane and turned some respectable test laps. Not bad for an automotive powerplant.

Yes I did and I just got back with the pics! I will just send you a bill with them. There are 18 total with the boat on the trailer. I will see if I have some of it running. I have another 20 or so of it running and being lifted out of the water. Do you want those too?
