Hi Wayne,
I spent around an hour today looking at your photo posts on "in the pits". I've been there a lot of late.
I'm so happy that you took so many pictures back then. Especially the ones from the 60's and 70's.
It's really filling a huge void in my boat racing past. A past that I would have LOVED to have been a part of!

My mother gave me a choice. Quit racing boats, or move out.
I was 18 at the time and decided to honor her wishes.
To this day, I wonder if I made the right decision?

I had full sponsorship from Konig and Walt Blankenstein. And they made it clear that the choice was mine.

I continued to race boats up into the early sixties. But it was carried out in the "stealth" mode and all I could do was race occasionally in stock outboard races under an assumed name - and with no support.

Over my lifetime of racing I've come to two different "forks in the road" where I had to make a decision. Now you know of my first decision.

Down the road I'll tell you about my next "fork in the road".
