"I had an Allison airplane en gine in . my Tempo VI w hen I crash, d and broke my arm in the Gold Cun race on the Detroit River last August. But this Kaiser engine is really two Allisons hooked to gellier on one crankshaft. ' I'll drive the boat for Kaiser. If if does well in the shakedown run in April I'll use it in all major races except the Harmsworth Tro phy race, being revived this year for the first time since 1933."
