From U-6 website:



We have a new gearbox that may help us get our straightaway speed!


From U-13 website:



"We put in a different motor, one of our best props and we went 14mph faster than in our morning session,” stated J Michael Kelly.



From Detroit Free Press:



"We're playing catch-up," David said. "We're trying to learn in three weeks what Elam has learned in three years. Little things make a big difference. The next time I go out, I told them to change the fin angle from 1.8 degrees to 1.5. That's what, a sixteenth of an inch?"



From Detroit News: Jimmy King talking about fans:



"They come by and say, 'You want us to go break Villwock's legs?'" King said, laughing.... "I tell them, 'No, when I win one, I want him right behind me.' Then they'll say, 'You want me to go put a hole in that boat?' and I say, 'No, no, no, I want him there.' "
