After discovering a box of my Dad’s photos, articles and winning certificates, I decided to share John’s story: 1970’s Speedboat Racing & Member of the Victorian Speed Boat Club.

Throughout the journey, I came to realize that this era marked the pinnacle of excitement & innovation in Speedboat Racing History, encompassing unprecedented fan engagement, extensive media coverage, & an abundance of Speedboats & Race Meetings.

The tale recounts the journey of a young John Lewis as he pursued his ultimate goal of claiming the E. C. Griffith Cup (‘The Melbourne Cup’ of Australasian Speed Boat Racing), with the support of an exceptional team.

A diverse selection of Speedboats is on display, reflecting the multitude of boats for exciting racing – highlighting the combined involvement of boats with various power classifications and hull configurations.
