Here is the December 1975 Issue
Interesting, in 1974, at Dayton, I had won D Runabout. In 1975, had sold my boat to a school teacher in Massachusetts named John Grant before the race. In testing, my boat was so much faster than my 1974 winning boat, I planned to win with no trouble. I ran 10th, with water in my gas.
Dick Fickett had bought a bunch of Model 80 Yamato props from me, and for payment, I had taken in several of his gas tanks on trade.
Little did I notice, that when I started my motor and "took off" my vent line sucked up the water on top of the tanks.
So, 1975, has a Super C Class. Reed Riddle from Utah says, "Why don't you run my SUPER C?" After I make one test lap, I come in and tell Reid, this 'Sumbitch' is like a "C" Konig." I know Reid like a brother, I say, "Reed, let me drive your hydro. I can win Super C Hydro." Anyway, they run Super C Runabout, I win with little a do. Super C Hydro comes up and Reed doesn't trophy. After this, Red, becomes an owner, not a driver.
I think I was the first and LAST Super C Runabout Champion.

When put on the BAKERSFIELD NATIONALS, 1977, we wanted an east coast Referee. Phil Charland's name came up. So, we hired him. He did a GREAT JOB. I never heard his name after the 1977 Bakersfield Nationals.
I made rocky props for his GN, and at 1979's APBA Convention which I put on, we had a two hour "Cocktail Hour" at Benihana's in Las Vegas. Rocky was a great host to us boat racers. So, 1975, til 1979 he was an APBA member and supporter.
