This is a picture of the R&D I bought from Don Haack. This was near the beginning of my racing career. The boat was damaged pretty badly after I ran out out of river in the Slough Race.

previews of a little dvd about an Acapulco exhibition race in1980;
Steve - Love that R&D. Looks fast just sitting still. The swept back cowling and wind screen look awsome. What's the history on R&D boats?
a few pics from the OLY Pro Nationals--1976
OK ,
Wayne names please?
Also if an unmanmed club returned here for a boat race would you attend????
Suppose we let you drive a 97mph 250ccH???? :D :D
I have generally stayed away from putting out the names. I like to post the pictures with the hope that others out there will fill in the names. I post too much anyway, but I will if no one else does. I want the people that were there and remember the events to add something. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't.
I would love to go back to Winona. It was a fantastic venue the three years we went. The second year I was sidelined, but we still had a great time. These days it is difficult to get away, but that is one place I would consider.
The last question :eek: If I thought I could get away with it:D , but:( it's been a long time since I have aired any plywood out. I don't know if I could feel the lift well enough to get there;) Methinks the boats these days are so light with the new materials, and handling characteristics are probably different from my day so that I think if I tried I would want Paul Simison or Cameraboy on the side to record when I should have let off.:D
My guess is that it just like riding a bike. Besides, my 4-blade Dewald propeller will keep the nose down for you.:)Quote:

Your'e close on the Kirts Charley, but that's Jerry. His brother Tom is just to the right. I forget the name of the pit man on the left.
And David--I only blew over once, so I don't have much experience to fall back on. Also on a bike, the ground would be closer and slower. Are you going to Alexandria in August?
Hi Wayne, great pictures as usual. The red DeSilva (N-48) belonged to the late Bob Hooghkirk. From thr picture I believe it was powered by a Crescent engine. Any pictures of N-96? BobQuote:
