The first race I won was at Fishers Landing NY in the fall. The Club could afford to put the race on but were a bit short for trophies. Dick Summerfeld and Ted Abel donated all the trophy plaques an I got one for AU.

It was always interesting to see the Mod Teck trailer. One race he would have 2 Casta's. The next time , 2 Sids then 2 Marchettis a while later. It didn't matter much, he ran well with any boat.
