APBA 73rd Annual Meeting , Atlanta Georgia

Earlier this summer I received some racing information from Ralph Donald. Inside one of the folders was a file containing information on the 1976 APBA Annual meeting. With Ralphs permission I will be posting all the information inside the folder. Hope you all enjoy it. Here is a little teaser, the Meeting Schedule for Friday Nov 19th 1976

Here is the Evinrude 100mph club notice

Here is another set of documents from the 73rd APBA National Meeting.

I got on the agenda for the Stock Commission and asked that the Model 80 Yamato be approved as "B" Local. I also, wanted the stock bras prop to be be part of the rules.

I was shot down on the prop. They said. "We've never had a propeller rule or spark plug rule.

I argued that my three blade propellers sold for $225 each and a Yamato 80, with propeller sold for $318.

But the brass prop go voted down.


Seems a few years later four blade props were voted down and Spec Props were approved...

Oh well I made several thousand selling Yamato 80 three blades...

My 1976 T shirts. C-78 is Dave Mayer's Marcell Belleville's first 20 SS Hydro.

Here is the next set , thanks again to Ralph for suppling the information.
