Welcome to a Historical Site of the Australian Speedboat Racing scene. I first started this site about twenty years ago featuring my father John Lewis & Vulture in the 1970’s. Now this trip down memory lane has extended to many other Boats from other eras. Information presented here is from a collection of articles & photos my Dad stored in boxes from many years ago, plus a wealth of information from generous boating fans.
