footage of the 48 foot four-engined Jesse James, built by the Lavin Family as a tribute to Mark, which became the basis for all of today's Lavin Foundation Safety standards.

Note: NNRT footage was very different from the competition. It was not taken "with a
stopwatch" and covers the racing rather than a parade of boats. It was the most sought after racing footage of the time and appeared on all of the major telecasts of the day. It was
announced by Rich Luhrs on a "live to tape" basis from the helicopter, and our new collections have been overdubbed and updated by him to bring you up to date and offer historical
perspective. All of the collection DVD's were edited by Darren Luhrs from Phil Lewis' wonderful original NNRT footage.
