I don't remember after all these years whether Elmer ran the smaller classes under C or not.
The reason for the question is that if you look at the color of the coveralls Jim is wearing, they are the same off color green coveralls that Elmer also always wore and that color also was close to what his boats were painted with contrasting with natural wood finish. Just saw one of his old hydro's at Lake Alfred for sale.
Makes me wonder if he (Jim) was maybe driving both his and Elmers equipment at that time.
