    Default Parker 1970

    Parker 1970, end of the first lap...Me in the Hallett and Johnny Sanders in the Molinari that Scotti had won Havasu with in 1969...It was a cold morning and my goggles had frosted...I had to pull them down to see.....after I'd hit a bouy up river...

    I finished 2ns buy one foot...I drove 7 hours and 20 minutes that day...

    D. Berghauer on the side...we didn't know which Berghauer would have a slot open, so, just put D...for Dewey or Denny!!!!

    Default Rudy's Jones Tunnel

    Bob's was never damaged, so the ribs and stringers should look original... Rudy's had had some major damage, seems you could tell if it showed signs of stringer and rib repair...

    Or, maybe any signs of blue and yellow paint...that would have be Rudy's... Bob's was red, whit and blue...with natural decks...

    I was contactedby a man in No. Cal. He said he had the Jones tunnel, that Rudy owned. It had been cut to add another seat, and had a bb Ford. It was for sale at that time.
    Don still has Bob's Jones tunnel.
