    Why don't you both get them running and bring them to DePue for a special stakes race. I am sure we could find a sponser to throw some money in. lol

    Default Howard Anderson's Quincy powered 1100 Runabout

    Okay! We ran the Looper! However it wasn't terribly fast, but with the help of Rich Fuchslin it lit right off. With Ralph Hildebrand behind the wheel,who was the first Deck Rider in Howards 1976 DeSilva, we drove down the new Devils Lake 1/4 mile straightaway several times in honor of our friend Howard Anderson. The boat is now retired as of this event and will be on display at the Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum in Kent Washington.

    Glad this piece of racing history is going to a good home. There are many iconic boats that deserve such an ending to their career , if a boat can have a career. How about the K-4 , G-86 , W-3 , H-4 and the R-12 fits right in there , at least in my opinion.

    That is some great news J-Dub. I have a question regarding another momento of Howard's. The Texans of Region 15 had a thing going with Regions 10, 11, and 12. All of us regions flew our state flags in the pits. At various nationals we would challenge one the regions that the total of our drivers points would exceed theirs. The loser had to submit their flag to the winner with all the losing regions driver signatures. At the Pro Nationals in Hinton, West Virginia in 1977 Region 15 beat Region 12. I posted the photo of Howard Anderson and Howard Shaw presenting the Washington flag to Joe Rome, our Texas flag representative (since he lost the first Texas flag to California in 1972). Joe kept this flag until 2007. At the first DePue Reunion Joe gave that Washington flag back to Howard. Seems like Howard mentioned that he was going to put it in that museum. Do you know if it's there? If you want a copy of that autographed photo to hang in the museum, email or pm me with where to send it.
