1983 St. Louis - Baker RST
Al and John towed the first Baker RST (Rally sport Tunnel) to St. Louis fresh out of the mold...barely in solid form (1981). We brought a **** load of props to the race and Al tested and finally ran one of them, (actually a Hill prop...imagine that!) and he won the "Powerboat Radar Shootout!". One of our good friends, Lonnie Hoke (Marine Engineering - Hydraulic lifts and set-backs), put his hand deep in his pocket Sunday night after Al then won the Powerboat shootout finals on Sunday and hooked it to to back of his motorhome and to Iowa it went...That was a great weekend!
