Bloody things shook the very ground you stood on. When you had a full field, it was unbelievable.
These are some pics I have from a GP press kit from the 80's

Bob Theoret in the GP Valleyfield GP 444. Formerly The Peanut, owned by John Stauffer and driven by Larry Lauterbach.
Bob won multiple World Titles, as well as National and High Point Titles in this hull.

My favorite pic is of Jean Theoret floating the Miss Danash. This hull was formerly owned by RJ Renolds and driven by Jim Kropfeld

JP Lessard driving another Lauterbach hull with an impressive history. Don Ryan's Lauterbach Special was formerly driven by Tom D'Eath to many victories.

Jeff,
have you been to valleyfield in recent years? i remember that GP valleyfield hanging from the ceiling of a bar with the motor in it and all still. the bar burned down recently but i heard they saved the boat, the plane that hung over the bar was not saved though. unfortunately the bar never was rebuilt.
i'm at valleyfield every year with my father to help crew for dan neagele who has a 5 litre. dan's gunning for a major title this year.
