And he (Mitch Evans) set a 2-lap qualifying piston boat record: 152.422 mph.
Considering they bounce around the turns at about 90mph, that kinda tells
you he was flat out flying on the straightaways.  Looks like a turbo-charged
Allison.

The best news is that both Mark & Mitch Evans are back in the cockpit.  Mark
is about 98% Bill Muncey, a real character who adds color to the sport.  It
will be an interesting season. :-)
