Notes about the Model: Bought as a pair with the 1971 Miss Madison from John Williams, this model as proved to be an outstanding entry into modern hulls. Easy to drive, fast, and has shown it can win if given the chance. Hull has been refurbished and has also been the ride of Ron Forister, Walter Roberts, Nelson Holmberg and Scott Meyers prior to Brandon Sano purchasing it
Notes about the Real Boat: Originally built with piston power in late 80's, became turbine powered in the late 1980's under many names. It ran as Frosted Flakes, Dewalt Tools, Jasper Engines & Transmissions, Holset Miss Madison, and Oh Boy! Oberto in 2000's. Became a static display after the new Oberto hull was built in 2007. Mike Hanson kept the boat competitive for many years. In 2011 it was purchased from the City of Madison and finished its life as a part of Webster Racing through the 2014 season.
Notes about 2020: The Miss Madison did not appear at any races in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.
