Not here but just received another email that Dec 75 was posted?
Still having the same issue as pages will not post in order , I have sent Ron and email and hopefully we can get this resolved.
The truth is, all us "OLDER GENTLEMEN", will read every page, word for word anyway, So, who cares what order? I read them AND I always look for my name!
I have been enjoying these threads and agree with Ron. If they pages won't behave just publish them and we will work the order out. Thanks in advance
Agreed just post what ever the page order we can do simple math :)
Here is the December 1975 Issue
Here is the rest of December 1975
Interesting, in 1974, at Dayton, I had won D Runabout. In 1975, had sold my boat to a school teacher in Massachusetts named John Grant before the race. In testing, my boat was so much faster than my 1974 winning boat, I planned to win with no trouble. I ran 10th, with water in my gas.
Dick Fickett had bought a bunch of Model 80 Yamato props from me, and for payment, I had taken in several of his gas tanks on trade.
Little did I notice, that when I started my motor and "took off" my vent line sucked up the water on top of the tanks.
So, 1975, has a Super C Class. Reed Riddle from Utah says, "Why don't you run my SUPER C?" After I make one test lap, I come in and tell Reid, this 'Sumbitch' is like a "C" Konig." I know Reid like a brother, I say, "Reed, let me drive your hydro. I can win Super C Hydro." Anyway, they run Super C Runabout, I win with little a do. Super C Hydro comes up and Reed doesn't trophy. After this, Red, becomes an owner, not a driver.
I think I was the first and LAST Super C Runabout Champion.
When put on the BAKERSFIELD NATIONALS, 1977, we wanted an east coast Referee. Phil Charland's name came up. So, we hired him. He did a GREAT JOB. I never heard his name after the 1977 Bakersfield Nationals.
I made rocky props for his GN, and at 1979's APBA Convention which I put on, we had a two hour "Cocktail Hour" at Benihana's in Las Vegas. Rocky was a great host to us boat racers. So, 1975, til 1979 he was an APBA member and supporter.
