The year was 1960, Eisenhower was President and most hulls were made of wood. Our father, Buddy Helms had moved his family to Miami from Charlotte a few years before, leaving behind his NASCAR racing past. Though Buddy was just a shade tree mechanic he could fix anything and he sure knew how to build a race engine! His racing passion was rekindled in Miami when Dick Bertram discovered Ray Hunt's new deep-V hull design ..... if Dick could only find a few talented guys to first build a wooden hull, then the first fiberglass deep-vee racing hull with NASCAR quality engines durable enough to stay together in 12 ft seas, maybe he could convince Sam Griffith to drive the legendary 31"Moppie", named after Dick's wife, in the 1960 & 1961 Miami-Nassau boat race. Buddy Helms is proud of his pioneering marine past, particularly his years with Bertram Yachts. He spent many an evening on the Miami River, waiting for the bridges to open after another water test of a new hull, new engine, or new model. Buddy lives in Cooper City and is likely the oldest living original NASCAR driver. Edd & Wade Helms grew up on the water in South Florida with their father's love for boating and the sea.
