First test run of Miss U.S. at the Pepsi Racing Power Cup Challenge in South Dakota on June 16, 2012. Built in 1958, the Lauterbach Unlimited hydro has been fully restored by owner Jay Armstrong. The video shows the pre-race drivers meeting, the launching of Miss U.S., the initial test run and the after race inspection and evaluation. A fun 16 mins worth that should bring back memories of the first shake down runs all restored boat owners enjoy.
After some minor adjustments, Jay and crew shuffle off to Buffalo to run it again with Jack Schafer at the wheel.
….and a quick video after the run at Buffalo. Its a very nice piece showing Jack, and a whole lot of people very happy to have witnessed his run in U-36. Piolt Jack Schafer is a friend of owner Jay Armstrong. Jack has extensive driving experience from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.:
