I hope i got his name right. Here was a gentlemans real friend. He never won much, but a real racer ,at heart . nicest guy you'd ever want to meet. He would loan you anything he had, and ,it seemed ,he had most of it . in racing -my opinion was he had good stuff, ,but he was afraid to sqeeze the throttle. one time , at Collins Lake, Buz Miller was blowing off how his emod runnabout with a merc 44 &konig lower unit blows Brack in the weeds , then, BILLY JACK RUCKER drove brack's boat & blew Buzz into the next county . What happened? Billy just sqeezed HARD on the throttle . Brack's boat had a 3cyl 75 H.P. power head on a Mk 75H tower &Mk75H lower unit (rare i've heard ) with 3 pipe stacks , sure sounded sweet, to my ears . Sure miss that guy , when i think of him.
