The Tuff-e-Nuff name has been synonymous with Blown Alcohol Displacement racing since the late 80's, and the legacy of Jeff Thompson and Dave Clark is nothing short of legendary. Who could forget seeing two identical Everingham B.A.D boats in all their red & white glory sitting next to each other both in the pits and on the water. The metaphor being that yes, these boats were tough enough to both awe onlookers by their image and moreover, Tuff-e-Nuff to go toe to toe with any opposition by their performance.

Other drivers to have the pleasure of driving the old boats for the Tuff-e-Nuff team were James Ware, David Satterly and world class pedaller Troy Marland. Troy was seen pushing Tuff-e-Nuff 1(AS83s) in spectacular fashion at the Dorwin Gold Cup many years ago, and anyone who's seen Troy in action knows one thing- the throttle is either on or off, never half way! Ironically, the fastest boat on this day was un-beknowingly soon to be acquired by Dave Clark some years later- 'Loose Cannon' driven by Tony Walsh.

The retirement of the old Tuff-e-Nuff's saw the coming of a new chapter in the teams legacy, in the form of an 1800hp Evercraft capable of speeds of up to 150mph. This boat was the first in the state to bring competitiveness to the national level, and brought new meaning to the name. If it wasn't written on the side of the hull, one look at this machine and you knew it was tough enough.
