There is a photo in Inboard History, under " 25 th Parker ". There was also a post that talked about someone using there Engine in this boat at a race....someone was pulling for the wood decker.....I cant find this post for some reason. Anyone ??? Also the number at this time was GN 17 or 117

I have a picture of GN 666 on my GN website, and it was owned by Steve Goodman at the time. It is at Walker Lake Nevada, and as I recall, he must have placed in the race because somewhere in my photo files at home I have a pic of him receiving a trophy. The address for his pic on my site is: http://home.earthlink.net/~jengle37/id2.html

Thanks John for your time and help. Goodman must have ran several different boats , do you know what year this was, this boat is all glass the one I am looking for was a Wood Decker. Al Gonzales owned this same boat and was raced under the number of 117. I have a Race Program from the " Mike Gordon 100 " at Miami Stadium from 1976. There was a photo in this program and I guess they took the photos last year so as to print in the issue for the next year. Thanks again John, wayne

To the best of my knowledge it would have been between 1976 and 1978. I never wrote anything down back then and just stuffed the pics in a shoebox. Probably 1977.
