My original Neoteric Racer needed some major modification in order to be competitive in the World hovercraft racing arena. The reconstruction called for a new engine and a bigger duct. BIG thanks go out to FMT Motor Sports, without them, this couldn't have happened. Here some pictures that documents the constant and ongoing progression with this effort:
