When I read CS19's post I looked over my head and picked up an old boat magazine off the top of the shelf. It is a February 1984 Hot Boat magazine. On page 11 is a Tom Papp Racing Advertisement and one of the pics has
"Johnny Harris, Unblown Gas Jet EYE OF THE TIGER. World's fastest at 131.96 mph."
And in '84.... that would be the Eliminator as the Cheyenne pickle tunnel jet was not yet out.
