Great story on Afterburner, the Bladerunner 52 owned by Bill Gibbs (Ventura, CA): They set a record time for the Newport- Ensanada race last weekend, despite ripping off their prod while dowsing their new Cuben chute close to the finish. Also beat Roy Disney's record-steeing Pyewacket by a hour. see
