U-21

Hull #0721

The Lakeridge Paving debuted in 2007 as the U-21 Meyers Auto Tech. Freedom Racing, of San Diego, had constructed the boat, and Brian Perkins drove. Unfortunately, Freedom Racing decided to sell the boat after the initial debut season. Prior to the 2010 season, Go Fast Turn Left Racing of Maple Valley, WA, purchased the boat. The distinctive green, silver, and navy blue has raced since, under the driving of Perkins. While typically not a front-runner, the GFTL entry is always reliable, and Perkins makes many finals.

The exact version of the boat that the model is based off of ran in Detroit in 2011. Hydro enthusiasts will note that at the previous race, the boat ran with a saltwater cowling, while at the northwest it ran with a heavily-decalled cowling. At Detroit, it ran with the conventional, base-green cowling.
