Bill Hosler & Claude Fox - photos
Hi All,
Bill Hosler recently gave us copies of his personal photo album and the Claude Fox photo album, which includes many photos used in the NOA Rooster Tails of the 1950's and 1960's, so we could post them on the Quincy Looper web site.
We've been busy posting photos from both albums to the www.QuincyLooperRacing.us web site. Go to the the site, click on the Racing Legends tab, then click on Claude or Bill's names to view the albums.
Since there are probably 200 or more photos in the Claude Fox group, it will be an ongoing project getting them posted.
These photos show the rich history of outboard racing and I want to send Bill a special thanks for allowing us to share them with everyone on our web site.
Here's a small sample of what Bill has contributed. Enjoy looking at all of the photos!
Regards,
Paul A Christner
Ted May, Jerry Waldman and Bill DeSilva, too!!!
Great pictures...
The 1952 Oakland Nationals, 184-C looks like a DeSilva, but it is a Terrell. That became my first boat.
2-C was John Craven, and that is a DeSilva Boat.
Dean Chenowith won three Nationals. W.W. "Pappy" Bowan had A Hydro won and decided to go wide on the last turn and wave top the crowd and officials. Dean cut it tight and beat Pappy to the finish line.
My dad inspected there along with Al Hart. My dad disqualified Jack Leek for a cut foot and Johnny Colvalt for the same thing.
My dad talk Stu Downs into buying Ron Zubak's BU Sid Craft
