    Same boat after the race at the Orange Bowl without the enclosed Canopies and the driver side cowling is gone.

    From Butch Stokes:
    post 162 and 163 is the first Wing Dave Craig got, right after the 6 hour at Lake X..it's not the original U4 that won Winnebago...or ran at the 6 hour..it never ran right but would run good when it quit hopping..it didn't have an adjustable wing..I got to drive it in Miami..I worked for Dave in 60-61..

    Back in 1960 my dad was the highest paid boat and car mechanic in the area where he lives, bringing home an unbelievable $18 a week ..... $3 back then would have easily gone as far as $150 does now.
    Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.

    Default "Hell Mack, I ain't..."

    Hal Kelly was asked for his "LICENSE"....He replied, "Hell Mack, I ain't fishing." The Game Warden took him straight to jail.

    We, Californians, were lucky, as we had already paid our "TAX" in California. We had "CF NUMBERS".....

    I don't think everyone did pay the three bucks. Jost threatened to take the race to Illinois. I think ONLY Wisconsin residents were made to pay.

    I made $5,900 a year, in 1966, as a first year teacher....a HUNDRED BUCKS A WEEK!!!! (Actually 180 working days)...Who said teachers were under paid???

    In 1960, gas as around 25 cents a gallon... So a 2 cent a gallon "Trucker Discount" at Old Fred's Cafe was a big deal...
