I just recieved a private message from a someone and thought some of you racers from region 7 might be able to help with this.The following is the message I recieved.

I am looking for anything about hydroplane racing in Illinois in the 1950's. My uncle Bill Peters raced during that time. I know he raced in Depue, IL but I can't remember where else. He won many races because I used to dust them when I was young. He was from Canton, IL.

If you have any ideas where I might look please let me know. Thanks, Connie
