Bill Van,

That Chicago race was held in the lock basin where the Chicago river meets Lake Michigan. It was the second race I ever attended. It was held there for a couple of years. The water was very strange due to the quick rise and fall when the locks were operated. Made for some tough currents and swirls. It was the only time I ever saw Homer Kincaid go out of a boat. He was running his C and caught a roller in the first corner. Lot's of memories from that era.
