Ted May Boat Racer, Mentor to Many!

[Doug Martin]

That is one of the funnest stories, This is how I know it. My Dad was running AU in the Needles Marathon. My Dad somehow crossed the finish line without nobody seeing him or my dad seeing the finish. He finely ran out of gas. Everyone looked for him down stream after all no one saw him cross the finish line. Some how he ended up past the finish line, pits, and everybody watching. But when this story is real side splitting funny is in the pits after a long day of racing. Around a fire after a few beers (not my dad he did not drink) but you add Russ Jr.& Ronnie Hill, Erine Dawe, Ted May and a few more there is comedy. My Dad always said he won.

My crash in 77 was in 25SSH that boat was fast but got a bad name because of that crash. That crash was just racing.
