It's a long haul through Texas
After I posted that pic, I realized it was a runabout instead, but I let the post stay.
That would have been around 1969 Ray. I was in college at San Marcos, Texas. A small college back in those days. That Terrell was my last runabout. It weighed practically nothing. I had the nose at about 45 degrees several times and that's when my Dad and I decided I wasn't cut out to be a runabout driver. The cockpits in runabouts were always too wide and too low and I was always bouncing all around. Most of my trips to check out how hard water can be was in a runabout.
I was glad to hear the story about how that runabout got to us. I didn't remember. BTW, as bad a runabout driver as I was I won my first race in 1967 in A runabout with a DeSilva and a cast iron Konig. I beat Bobby Wilson and I can still see the smile on my Dad's face.
I never heard that about Wade. His valves must have been floatin' at that RPM. Good thing he wasn't wired into the kill switch.;) Thanks for YOUR stories Ray. Joe and I WILL see you at DePue.

I keep getting sidetracked
I remember we brought HOOKIN' BULL out of retirement for the UIM World Championships in Phoenix, but this pic I didn't remember. I keep finding these little goodies while looking for photos to go with this story.
This is Denny Henderson in HOOKIN' BULL at the final LSBRA race of 1975 at my Dad's house. What do you remember about this Denny?
