Origin of the name Slomoshun

The name Slomoshun was coined by Stan's wife Madeline.

Stan had a life long dream to race and race at Indy. He did race cars competitively, but never got anywhere near the Indy 500. Stan also tried racing single prop airplanes, the little speedsters that zip around pylons. After a few tries, even Stan felt the sport was too wild. Madeline and Stan ended up agreeing on power boat racing. She had no idea what that would be like until she saw Stan speeding madly around Lake Washington and told him:


"When I see you out on the lake going so fast, all the other boats appear to be moving in Slomoshun".

The hyphenation of the word Slomoshun to Slo-mo-shun starts with the Slo-mo-shun III.
