According to Mark Queen owner of Queen Racing and tuner of Mike Klippensteins race boats Klipper will compete in Pro Ski Open on his black boat which is equipped with a brand new Powered by Queen- engine. His practice boat, the red one, does not handle as well as the black one for some reason. Therefore, Mike decided to use the black one. His race boat features some new Queen Racing spec secrets that will not be revealed until the race is over. Mike is most probably one of the very few riders who use a long ride plate on his aftermarket hull. Queen knows why.
