Notes about the Model: Bill Mowatt drove the Checkerboard Comet to third place in the ERCU 1/10-scale vintage class season standings while serving as Rick Evans' driver in the 2021 season. Much like the real boat, the model is a rocket and consistently among the best boats in its class.
Notes about the Real Boat: Billy Schumacher piloted the boat in 1968, as it ran in all 10 races that season. It captured four victories in Madison (Wisc.), Madison (Ind.), Coeur d'Alene, and the Gold Cup in Detroit. The boat captured the championship over the My Gypsy.
Notes about 2021: Bill Mowatt is proud to have purchased the hull from Rick after the 2021 season. He's already testing for the 2022 season and is very excited.
