Ron, neither one of us knows how to spell Elmo's last name! I seem to remember that it had an 'o' in it some place. Elmo's main class was 'C' Racing Hydro. My dad went from his 3 point Neal plank hydro to Hap Sharp's cut-off DeSilva. Then Dave Reddens DeSilva, and finally he bought Elmo's DeSilva. I remember because John Toprahanian built a 'C' engine from my dads extra parts. My Dads second race in Elmo's boat was at Bakersfield. John put the extra enfine on my dad old boat (Hap Sharp's) and I beat him one heat. Of corse he got even, beat my *** with his favorite belt, and I never drove a 'C' hydro again. I do have a good picture that John T took and hung in our shop. Just to remind my dad. Quite the sore spot.
