While going through Powerboat Magazines for articles on the OMC RC engines I came across a Mel Zikes column about the 1967 program for Havasu. It's really great and I was going to post it on what I thought might be a Havasu thread. There's been a lot of good posts about Havasu but my search didn't come up with a thread about Havasu in general....only about specific years or stories imbedded in other threads. I think Havasu, Parker and St Louis should have their own threads like we have on Alexandria and DePue. The same goes for Lakeland, Yelm and DeLake and other famous race courses that were around for a long long time. Anybody else agree?
Dear Master Oil Racing Team- I think you have a good idea there. We at Goseetv/boatracing are working on new videos of Havasu 1969 & Havasu 1971. We also plan to post videos of Parker 1974-1975-1976-& 1981. We also have film of St. Louis 1974. Mark Benson- Producer E-mail mrbenson55@gmail.com
