Fun pics of the ET boats. I saw on your site you had ET-80. I believe the owner of this boat was Art Williams. The boat was named Sasquatch. He had two other boats named Big Foot (not sure which class) and Little Foot. All painted the same in purplish/black colors.
Little Foot was a Sport C.It was cute seeing all three together in one spot.
I remember well the boat "Walker Lake Special". Jack and my late brother Mike had met at Walker Lake (Hawthorne, NV) when Mike drove up there to race his stock outboard. Jacks hospitality made a fond lasting impression on my brother. He must have been a heck of a person. Am I right in thinking that Jack was killed at Walker Lake many years ago?
Here's another image of the late Mitch Lembke winning the Parker Enduro:

so I left boat racing. Didn't keep up with any of it and missed it badly for years. About 4 weeks ago I started digging through pictures and decided to do this project. In 78 or 79 Brad Miller and I teamed up to put on an Inboard Endurance race at Puddingstone reservoir along with an outboard race that was happening at the time. As a result I was given a list of names and addresses of all available racers at the time. I started going through that list a couple of weeks ago and looking up the names on the internet, only to find that many have passed on. I knew about Bob Palm, I helped build his boat and was there for the building of Cannan's new boat, out of the same mold. But the others....Red Adair, Armie Haines, Brad Miller, Bob Nordskog, Mitch Lemke, Jim Bohenna (who helped teach me what I was doing in my first GN ride), Jack Rourke.... I could go on but it makes me sad to think of it. I think often of putting on a race here, maybe one that the guys could get to on the way home from somewhere else, and the thread I read about doing an enduro race again really perked up my spirits. Thats why they call them inboard endurance
