    Default Doug Rea and Family

    This is a photo of Doug Rea at Puddingstone, 1987. I must have been at this race, but don't recall the accident. The old course at Puddingstone was a triangle and very large. It was hard to see the back strech from the pits.

    I really didn't know Doug at this time, but think his brother, Jim also raced. Doug's daughter, Angie Rea has raced C Stock Hydro for about three or four years now.

    Doug was or is the Champ Boat referee and a big supporter of APBA. He h worked tirelessly at the los Angeles APBA National Meeting and works at all SoCal boat races.

    Doug told me this accident broke his back...

    Thanks for you efforts, Doug and family...

    I hope you'll find some more pictures to post...

    Ron, I remember this accident. I was racing in the heat and had thrown a blade so I was sitting dead on the course. I believe he did this crossing the finish line. I also believe that it was his last hydro ride. He continued racing but only in the runabout. Thanks for posting the picture.
