Baxley G.A. 1957 don't worry Dieter does better on the next page.
The rest of the classes.
SEBA High Points
Your Dad was cleaning house Danny. I love those point sheets and newsletters with the stains. I can identify with that. Your earlier posts lead me to believe that Dieter must have spent the whole summer racing in the U.S. I'm not sure, but I think it was 1957 when he competed at the very cold NOA World Championships at Corpus Christi. Also I think Dieter and Flo got married that year. Maybe it was an extended Racing in America Honeymoon.:confused::cool: Keep sending us more stuff.
Hi Danny- keep up with the SEBA rundowns. Is E.F. Hatton still alive? He had the first 6 Merc I had ever seen, at Beaufort,SC the day D.F. flipped and cut his foot.

Al,Sheriff Hatton died around the early 80's. His last boat was a Marchetti an 44 Looper. Bob Dunlap has the Looper maybe he will put it on the Ouincy site someday.Sheriff was driving this rig when he was in his 70's at one race Dad was jokeing an told him he would ride in the back an adj, the carb's Sheriff said that's not a bad idea. There were some colorful racer's in those day's.When you went to the race in Hazlehurst G.A. where Hatton lived the cop's would wave at you if you had a race boat I never saw this any where else. David Westbrook bought the Marchetti an Looper I'am fairly sure that is the boat he had at the Dayton World Champinship with a D konig an got hurt bad. Wayne you may know more about this ,but Tim Butts told me that Westbrook was driving a Marchetti I Have some more on Sheriff for later.
Ok, is that a Big D Swift or B/C ,This is Sheriff some time in the 50's
My son Danny testing our CMH monday afternoon after the Roanako Rapids N.C. race last sat & sun. Boat won all four heats of CMH with our friend Jimmy Warren driving. The PHP is for Pop's Horse Power,He never saw this motor, but my son Dale who build the motor, will not run anything without this on it in honor of his grandfather who he learned so much from.
Hi Danny- Glad to see the family racing tradition is being carried on, and in a winning way.:D
Al the best in the season.
