| Additional Information | Pay n’ Pak was a home improvement chain that was founded by Steve Thurman in 1962 and later taken over by David Heerensperger in 1969. Heerensperger oversaw the expansion of the company. In 1989, there was an attempt of a hostile take over of the company so Heerensperger left and made a competitor chain, Eagle Hardware, in response. The hydroplane project was an investment Heerensperger made when he took over up until he left the company, specifically hydroplane racing. It was considered a dangerous sport in the 1960s and 1970s at the time when he was racing. His team won 25 races while he was in control. |
