I knew it wasn't Alabama express cause it was a kurtis not a deaver. It also has a Chevy in it so it is making me think its a bgh. Could it be in Michigan or Canada?

i think there was a Kurtis and a Deaver alabama express because Richard Shaver crashed the Kurtis and Jim Degroot owns the deaver if i am correct.

yea, he was the 1974 World Champion.  Driver was Dick Phillips and the owner was Arnold Andreotti. That picture was taken at Lake Ming and Dick was clocked driving the Sanger at 146 mph
 
Wow, it only took 33 years to get another Champion boat in our home town of Colusa, CA.
