These words come from an enigmatic young man named Gary Gabelich. At thirty, Gary has distinguished himself by breaking previous land records. Gary's career with racing started at least twelve years ago. From carrying parts around part time, he worked his way up from mailboy to power testing Apollo projects. In the process, Gary again distinguished himself by scoring exceptionally high on exams and tests. The worlds fastest prop-driveboat record is held by Gary at two hundred-poin- t forty four miles per hour. Sky diving, motor bikes and dune buggies as well as surfing occupy his spare time when he isn't breaking records. Gary shares a cottage in Long Beach, California, with a German Shepherd dog.
