I like the one of the beach start, Dad is in that one (328), I also see the Rockford bunch in the same pic: Terry Leatherby (898), Duane Timm (245), and far left is Dick Ingebretsen (185).
The east bank park still looks the same. The big Davit is still there as well.

Auglaize, Again, Just awesome and again thanks! hope you will PLEASE post more.
In the latest series, A great boat racer and great person, Art Kennedy (147) in his unusual looking hull which I was led to believe was a Molinari. He was hard to beat in UI class in which the approved engines were the 90 in^3 BP1000 Mercs; X115 and GT115 OMCs. This year (1974) was the last year for UI class and Art won UI in this race. Obviously they combined this heat with UIs and UJs running together as Timm (Nauss Hull #245) and Ingebretsen (Sidson #185) have OMC stinger KC13rs and the red Kitson with #231 on it has a Twister 1.
Also a great shot of Terry Leatherby in his Nauss hull (#898) and GT115. He is running the 1:1 gearcase as it was a long course, but very rough water so I wonder if that was a good choice. Either way, he didn't finish as he lost a power head during the race.
I am wondering about Clarence Archer whom in the standings listing took second in UI. I know he hailed from Washington DC and think he ran a BP but I don't know a number or anything.
Do you have any pictures of Clarence or any boats with a red stripe Mercury that would have run in this heat?
Also curious as to who is the driver of #231 if anyone reading this knows?
Again, Thanks and keep them coming!
