    1964 I believe was calm. I wasn't there, but I believe that was the year Ted March won FH and Bob Halstead won FI both in flat bottom Allisons.

    Default Joe Burgess: Friend

    Fred Bowden told me he was the first one to Joe after his accident in St. Louis. Fred said, "He knew he was dead." Capsules save lives...

    Joe could drive THOSE VEE HULLS......like poetry..

    Here is a picture of Joe driving a 380 Laser 380, like I NOW OWN, I always loved this boat, ESPECIALLY WITH JOE at the wheel...

    We used his picture on our certicates, and I may reprint them again, if for no other reason but to honor JOE....

    You can continue to rest in peace, Joe...Us OLD GUYS are still carrying on the battle!!! I'll never forget you!!!

    Joe was the smoothest Allison driver ever. He made the boat run like it was being pulled by a string.
    At an Ohio OPC race Joe had just rigged a new white Allison with a Johnson GT-115. He asked me to check out the rigging. A lady came to the boat accompanied by a gorgeous blonde. Joe introduced them as his mother and sister. It was the first time they had seen him race.
    So the race starts and when they came to the first turn several boats tangled with a big splash. The white Ally was floating upside down. Never forget his mother standing next to me "Wheres Joe?" He'll be okay, I said not really knowing. It seemed like five minutes before he swam clear of the boat and waved knowing his mom was watching. Joe was a great guy and we miss him.

    Default J. Christian Bush Adds...

    Just got off the phone with Chris Bush, he still is a little SLOW in the COMPUTER DEPARTMENT...But he did add, "That Joe Burgess was the best V -Bottom driver ever..." Coming from Chris Bush, I know Chris knows...

    He added....Something too about Joe being small and low in the seat and Chris wasn't sure how he could see...but you could tell, that Chris had the greatest respect for Joe...
