-two unidentified pix , 1976 , of a F DeSilva hydro
I suppose the 'C' means its in CT,

-another pic of the ON D-S , Crystal Lake, NY, 1995, with a M75H.

Well I recognize the 2 pics above and the C is for California. The Lake is Lodi Lake Calif and the C-153 is that of Casey Parson's. Was just out there this weekend as we raced there on the 4th of July for years before they ended. Casey was an 1100 r driver for many years and held the Kilo record for many years until Klemm broke it Thanks for sharing

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for? When the alky nationals were held in Long Beach California, the Midwest and east coast guys sure got a look at them. My dad (C-252) said Doug Creek told him he didn't know "Cadillac made hydro's!"

I was trying to figure out what my brother did in the 1956 Nationals...then, I was wondering what Bob Jackson did. I know Tommy won the first heat of C Hydro, then spilled while leading in the second heat, and retired on the spot. I remember Dave Hart driving our Morehouse in C Runabout, his first alky race, winning, until he twisted the propshaft off.

I can't remember what my dad ended up. I think he was 3rd overall? Tommy ended up 2nd, and I think Doug Creek or another East coast guy won on points.
