Bud David Kilo Trials 1973
This picture was on the cover of the Propeller: It said, Referee, Forest Miller, Region 11 Chairman, Henry Wagner, Outboard Vice President, William Fales and Bud Davis. It should have said, Bud David for whom the kilos were named and for whom the Memorial Time Trials are named.
Henry is seated with the short black hair.
Bud used to run the scanner for the kilos, he always told me he got my engine going into the kilo and the bow coming out. I often wondered if 26 feet really made a difference. (13 feet each way, actually.) I do know he missed my *** many times, when I thought I had made a "PERFECT" RUN. They'd announce, "Sorry Ron, we missed you. You can go back and give it another try."
