Joe had it right. A lot of people around the country probably didn't know Ray. He was never a front runner, but in Texas he was consistent and did accomplish some high point victories. Ray was what...
Ray was always one to come by and search me out during the Nationals at Depue and spend some time visiting. He and his wife would always end up sitting behind/alongside the PA booth where my family...

Count me in for at least one if not two books, one for me and one for my twin in Calfiornia if I can get him back on a plane. Alan and my wife are both scared too death of getting on plane,...

Seems to me I remember that the JayCee's were the sponsor for...
I remember that race at Winnona, Butch Levendusky came back in from the heat and "drove" that C Service Hydro 15 feet up on the beach with a hole you could drive a truck through on the bottom. That...
I remember the Nationals at Depue and having one heat eliminations with over 600 entries. Testing started the weekend before for some of the midwest guys who would then go to work until Wed pm and...
Wayne,
You may be right on that, it just fits the era and the name of Joe's company. Would be interested to hear the history on this. The boats that Joe drove were radical for the time frame with...
