The first Elsinore 50 was October 8, 1968. My dad and mom owned 22 acres on Rome Hill in Elsinore and all my life, 0-16 the lake had been dry. After graduating college, I started teaching in 1966. In the fall of 1966 I drove for Outboard Marine Corp at Havasu and in 1967 I won Havasu in the "T" Class.
But OMC didn't want to race The Elsinore 500....YET! Here is a picture from the first "500"...Kind of sets the pace of the Inboards Vs. the Outboards in those days!
