    Default APBA 73rd Annual Meeting , Atlanta Georgia

    Earlier this summer I received some racing information from Ralph Donald. Inside one of the folders was a file containing information on the 1976 APBA Annual meeting. With Ralphs permission I will be posting all the information inside the folder. Hope you all enjoy it. Here is a little teaser, the Meeting Schedule for Friday Nov 19th 1976

    Default I Was Region 12 Chairman in 1976: I Went to the Stock Commission with the Model 80

    I got on the agenda for the Stock Commission and asked that the Model 80 Yamato be approved as "B" Local. I also, wanted the stock bras prop to be be part of the rules.

    I was shot down on the prop. They said. "We've never had a propeller rule or spark plug rule.

    I argued that my three blade propellers sold for $225 each and a Yamato 80, with propeller sold for $318.

    But the brass prop go voted down.


    Seems a few years later four blade props were voted down and Spec Props were approved...

    Oh well I made several thousand selling Yamato 80 three blades...

    My 1976 T shirts. C-78 is Dave Mayer's Marcell Belleville's first 20 SS Hydro.
