came here for Apache 54:55 (only tied up, StarChaser) but got to see Marc Lavin interview (Jesse James) . Amazing racer and team, rarely the best die . Such a tough ending . Thanks to channel, for saving this footage !

Legend has it the Jessie James 35 Conquest was clocked at 147 mph in Grand Haven in the summer of 1986, outrunning all Super and Open Class boats by miles before winning the race.

I watched the jessie James boat make a comeback race in 2005. It got smoked by the newer boats but ended up coming 4th which is fantastic outcome for an older boat.

Love hearing about Rich Luhrs' history in the sport also. Does anyone know though, if the Lavin Bros crash was captured on video?
