Modern Outboard 1971 Havasu Classic

[Miss BK]

It's so much fun going through those entry lists! When I was 8 years old, I only was familiar with a few names (the name Ron Hill, of course, was one...)

But here's one name that I didn't get to know until several years later. In a TOTALLY different atmosphere - stock outboards. We later became very good friends and still exchange Christmas cards - all these years, I didn't realize FRANK ZORKAN was in this race!

And now I think there might even be a picture of him in these slides my brother took.

The notes on this 1970 slide say, "Roger Hulett, Phoenix, AZ". On Ron's entry list of 1971, Frank Zorkan is listed as co-driver.

So is this a picture of Roger and Frank during a pit stop??? Ironically, Frank and I would be watching this race together exactly 9 years later --- standing on the bank just behind where this photo was taken. Strange world!

PS - Look at those steering wheels !!
