Gene, if you want to know about the canoe racing, which is alive and well, contact Ric Montoya on the HR site. Ric races the canoes himself, and confirms that they are pretty squirrelly. He has a couple of really fun videos on HR entitled (roughly), "Original North American Runabout:" go to the General Hydroplane & Runabout Discussion, Page 6. An old pal and fellow BSH/AOH/BOH driver from the Sixties and Seventies, Gene Laes, used to help tune the engines for the canoes in those days when the engines were alky-burning 20H's. Gene is still racing, mostly C Service I believe. I don't think he's on-line, though.
