Blazer's Lil Mogul S-2 is no more. I recently heard the last owner
cut it up for the fire.
This boat ran in
the 70's and early 80's in the 145 class. Ken Krietzer drove it most of
the time,
and I swear this
thing could turn in its own length. It was a very successful home built.
I drove it once
and was running 3rd or 4th at the eastern division and it blew over backwards
as did Joe Schulte at the same time.
It's a shame to
see this happen to any good old race boat. This one unfortunately was in
the hands of someone who didn't know what he had. Dick Harris

1.16.03 from Mr. Blazer's sons:
My brother called
me up today and told me he stumbled upon this website that had our Dad's
old boat on it.
It wasn't more than
a couple weeks ago we were all wondering whatever became of that boat.
Unfortunately, finding
out it was burned for firewood isn't what we wanted to hear, but at least
we now know for sure.
My grandfather also
ran a boat called the Little Mogul A-21.
I can't remember
the exact year, but they broke the world record with that boat in the 1950s.
It would be great
if we could find out what ever happened to that boat. Mike
