All the racers from the north extremes, Midwest and west coast that had been entertained by Baldy a couple of weeks ago were gone. But we still had the Lone Star Championships to finish. Baldy's race course was the southmost of the circuit, but he still kept up the rules for records. The racecourse was resurveyed after Kay Harrison set the three mile record and it was surveyed again prior to the Lone Star race.

Most of the Texas racers came back to race again as they had found Baldy's race course to be a very good one. The race the previous spring had made them aware of the great pit area, and with the Lone Star officials, clock, and other essentials, Baldy's race course at Barbon was established on the Lone Star circuit. Bobby Wilson and some others that had a six or seven hundred round trip to race at Baldy's spent time on their equipment and did the turnaround to come back.

We didn't get quite the coverage we did for the National Outboard Association World Championships, but we still got media coverage. There was not enough time to do the hype like we did before, but Corpus Christi sports editor Roy Swann covered the races. Probably more than I have copies of such as the pre race publicity.

As far as everything else though, Baldy had it all covered from portable bathrooms to the ambulances, race course protection from the Texas game wardens in patrol boats, concessionaires, and lists and phone numbers of area motels. We had a good attendance even though Baldy's was a long way and a short time since they had last been to Baldy's.
