Random shots from the pits

Springfield PRO Eastern Divisionals was two months after Debbie and I got married and one month after I got out of the hospital for pnuemonia. Yeah, got back from our honeymoon and went straight into the hospital. We had a wonderful time at Springfield. It was the first time since the Nationals the previous year that we had seen a lot of these guys. Do you know who they are?

I finally have had a chance to look at all the pics. Great shots of the old days, when I was to young to remember or even think about racing.

Jeff, are you talking about the boat that Karl Williams is handling? I was wondering who the blonde headed guy was working around the flywheel. I can't remember. He kind of resembels Jerry Parrot, but I think Jerry quit racing several years before that.

Post #142 secound picture down. Does anyone know the guy sitting csoss legged in the center with the note pad in hand? I think I do.But I could Be mistaken. Hint He was from South St. Paul MN. and his Boat # was G-77 he ran A, B and C Hydros.

Thanks for the pictures guy's.

Re. Winona MN, I can remember the races there in 1976. I was only 7 years old. that is a great race site. I would also like to see another race there some day. It's close to home. How about it Badger state Outboards?

Doug--I am putting together some information for Mike Ward, and the only thing I lack for the UIM World Championships in Phoenix 1976 is Rex's make of hydro. I can make out Hydros and Renton, Wa. on the side, but the logo isn't clear. Can you help me?

Hey Wayne, I talked to my dad and he said it was a Rhoades. Hope this helps.
