I know of an FD here in Canada
Thx for this Chris....you can hear and see my Dad in the Canandaigua vids!
Here's a few pics of Armand I have snagged over the years.
Armand was a Canadian alky hydro driver who was often at US races, and more than often, showed them how it was done!
His engine work was...

Would still love to hear / see this interview Wayne
Yvonne Koenig's Facebook page---I hope this is not true! I thought about that after I posted it here
Just read that he has passed away.......
Morning all:
I would like to share an interesting story with you. If you recall about 5 years ago, I volunteered to go pick up a B Looper for Frank Novotny. He handled the money part of the deal,...
Those are Wayne Balwin's pics. I remember from some of his posts before on here. He actually had 2 of those published in Powerboat--The one of Tom Kirts taking a ride and the other was the pic of...
I still have the recipe for the Simon fuel mix I used to run in one of his engines:
Per 5 imperial gallons:
40 oz. benzine
44 oz. castor oil
160 oz. nitromethane (20%)
Balance methanol.
WOW! Thanks for those pics Ralph!
The one of him racing the 500 Yale are from contact sheets made by Wayne in his "Amazing Story" thread, the other, is from Trebor's obit.5308953090
I think a few pics of the boat would be a fitting tribute Danny.
Dick Buller from Oshawa Ontario Canada had a hot SS class inboard he named "Bullship".
That's Henry "Shakey" Shakeshaft Jr. driving the C Service hydro on the cover.
What might that serial number be?
Off work today...........Just messing around:

I just recieved an email from Greg Hall informing me Trebor passed away on the 15th:
Hi Jeff,
I hope this finds you and your family all doing well! I’d love to catch up with you sometime.
...
Love em' all! but especially Dan with the stopwatch!
Hope you got some pics Wayne! :D
I'd contact Frank Novotny and ask him to measure what he has. He has A's through 44 F's so he could measure the diamaters and lengths for you.
Whew!!! :rolleyes::eek::eek::rolleyes:
Here's an eye opener, how would you like to look in the trash and find one of these!

Nice vid Bill!
Bill Van sent me a copy of the Japanese production of this race. It focuses primarily on the Yamato team, but also has some excellent footage of the races too!
I figured that John :)
I always wondered bout' it though since I remember Chuck Howgate with a painted blue C.
Just in case you're wondering about the red painted heads..........Almost the entire powerhead was red at one time, except for the polished (dusty :cool:) areas you see here.
I asked Chuck Simon...
Coming back to me now.........I removed the split case unit and replaced it with the unit you see now before I sold it to John. I had a fellow driver up this way who was having gear issues on his B,...
If it is, I remember seeing the boat beside John's house covered with a tarp for years.
Seem I remember John telling me it was an experimental boat from OMC in Peterborough. That leads me to think...
