This year’s top-speed contest will be the third on their home-water in four years for the father-and-daughter duo.
“I’m not sure how fast we’ll be able to run this weekend but I’m looking forward to it,” said Taylor Scism. “We’re testing tomorrow morning.”

In April, they laid down a superb 160.1-mph run with her father in a 52-foot MTI catamaran powered by dual-calibration Mercury Racing 1550/1350 engines at the Desert Storm Poker Run Shootout in Lake Havasu City, Ariz.
