Denny Henderson is in the top two photos.... Has anyone seen Jim McKean and Roger Clements in the same room together? Lets see.... who is more famous... A "younger" Jim looks like a "younger" Rocket Roger! He also has that Dale Earnhart Sr. look!!!!!

Did you notice that Renato is wearing a "London Bridge" t-shirt. No doubt he bought that in Havasu at the World Outboard Championships.
Great pics! Thanks.

More from Dayton. Since no one will probably guess the first one, it is Pierre Desiertenne from France working on his aluminum hydro--the one Joe posted earlier.

2nd Pic is Fred Hauenstine on the left, can't remember the guy in the center and Johnny Dorch on the right. Danny Kirt's boat. Punched a hole in in in the first heat and everyone tried to scramble to help him get it patched for the next heat. Mixed up some real hot epoxy to try to get it to set up. I was working with Harry Pasturczak at the time and he was very allergic to Epoxies. Had to stay up wind from the area. As I recall, Danny only made about 3 laps before the patch gave out.
