    Default Formula 100 T2x mystery boat

    I was going through some of Dad's old pics, Brought back a lot of memories but I can't seem to remember who drove boat 244 in the picture... wonder if anyone can remember who this is. Most likely a region 7 or 8 driver...Looks like a broughton with a T2X.....
    Any info appreciated.

    For some reason Ohio comes to mind. I don't know who it is either. Looks like your dad was doing crash boat time for that photo. Would that be Danville, IL?

    Does Jerry Gwinn (sp) sound right? If not it could be one of the guys from TN or KY.

    I am not sure, Jerry Gwinn doesn't ring a bell, I thought the race was possibly Oregon, Illinois.
    I thought the boat kind of looked like Buddy Wright's old kramer but I don't think it is.
    Here is another shot, Dad is in the second boat (sorry about the poor quality picture). Paint job on the Burgess dates the to 1979 or '90 I think..

    Now I remember!!! Something triggered an epiphany.....Funny how the mind works. I was in the crash boat and took the picture. The driver is Gary Duncanson from Minnesota TCPBA.
    I am not sure of the race site though but it was in Minnesota, perhaps White Bear Lake(?).
    Interestingly, the crash boat TCPBA used at that time was made from a Hydrostream Puma tunnel boat bottom.

    It sure looks like a Broughton. Here was mine with a T2.
