Jim, I am very sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. You and your family will be in my prayers.
Richard, there used to be alot of racing right around here back in the 60s and 70s. My dad used to race at Swope Park, Lake Contrary in St. Joe, Bean lake which is just outside of Atchison. They also...
Tom, thanks for all the pictures. I always enjoy seeing pictures of my dad. Would love to see more pics. I hope Stan makes it to the nationals this year. It is always good to see him. I also triied...
Jean, awesome pics of Billy. I'm sure you will have lots of requests for those. See you in Depue.
Thanks Paul for the pics. Sure wish I was there but I would rather be with my family on Easter. Hope everybody was safe. Waiting for results.
Hey Wayn, I remember getting one of those hats. I believe I got it at a race in Texas, Fort Worth maybe? I had to be about 10 or 11 at the time. It was the coolest thing. I though it was red and...
Looks like the driver found his way out through the side of the boat.
Hey Wayne, I dont even know if Danny has the Internet at home. He spends so much time at the shop and when he is off from work he is either shooting his bow or hunting. I have had the privilage to...
Hey Wayne, How many World and National Championships and World Records are held by the three guys on the trailer with your dad? I am going to guess a bunch.
Saw Jimmie Nichols sitting in his boat with my oldest brother standing to the right. He must have been about 14 yrs old then. I had to take a double take to make sure it was him. The next picture...
Wayne, I have heard the story of Danny running my dads boat. I would love to see the pictures. I need to get dad to post some stories. Obviously I was too young to remember alot of the stories but I...
Wayne, I totally agree that there is nothing like the rush in this racing. But it still comes down to the fact that we are not getting new blood into the Capsule class. I just think there is not...
Well I guess I will give my two cents worth since I race a Pro Capsule Boat. I remember when they first mandated us to get into the Capsule I was definatly against it. I felt I had no other choice...
Wayne, I believe the boat that everyone is working on is Dan Kirts. It looks like Tommy Kirts ( the one with no shirt and curly blonde hair) and maybe Jim Kirts leaning on the boat with the red hair....
Hey Ron, no problem, I got my Pro-Motion newsletter and it shows the Nationals tentative for July 26-30. Make plans now. I am not much of a planner but anything I could do to help count me in....
Hey Wayne, I read where Dan mentioned that the Rhoades boats always ran flat. The picture of my dad at Firebird doesnt look like it is runnig too flat. Very clean. I would like to get a copy of this...
Hey Wayne, I talked to my dad and he said it was a Rhoades. Hope this helps.
The third from last picture is my dad, Rex Hall. Dont know who the other two in the picture are. Who is the little blonde head boy.He has to be around my age.
That boat was built by Bob Sovie in NY. I dont remember for sure if James or his dad ran the boat. They must have bought it from the Sovies because they had two of them that they ran at the Title...
Wayne, I was reading the posts while sitting here at the fire station and I looked up the flashpoints of gasoline and Methanol. Gasoline is -45F and Methanol is 52F. We have some guys here that could...
Wayne, like Mike said you missed a great time. Depue is always a great place, wether you are racing or just there to see all the great people. We worked our butts off and came up short but we had a...
Wayne, thank you so much for all the great pictures. I have been looking for pictures of my dad and found one at a drivers meeting. I believe it was picture 44. It is funny to see him when he was my...
