Notes about the Model: This model was built as a static display for Jim Bakke in the winter of 2013-14. Nelson Holmberg took a blank West Coast Custom Boats modern hull and turned it into the 2013 Graham Trucking that won the national championship that year with Jimmy Shane at the wheel. Bakke and Holmberg were teammates on the Graham Trucking crew that season - Nelson's first of three full seasons with the team. In 2020, Bakke decided he wanted to see his boat race, so it's in the process of being converted to a race hull and should be ready for the 2020 ERCU season.

Notes about the Real Boat: The 2013 Graham Trucking is the final Miss Budweiser ever built. Affectionately known as "T-6", the hull is among the most successful raceboats in the history of the sport. It's won multiple Gold Cups, National Championships and more than a dozen races. Owned by Ted Porter from 2006-2016, the team was regularly among the top two teams in the sport and won five of six World Championships in Doha, Qatar.

Notes about 2020: This boat, with four different drivers in five races, managed to finish on the podium in four races. It was second in the ERCU Gold Cup modern final, and second in the Roger Newton Memorial modern final - both with Modern Rookie of the Year Joey Caines in the cockpit. The boat finished second in season points for modern boats in its debut season.
