    Regarding Red Adair, Yes he did invest a lot in Clear Lake and was responsible for all the races there as far as I know. The races he put on attracted drivers from coast to coast. You could see all the top names there.

    Richard Hatteberg raced with Red and also fought wild wells with him. Richard told me to give him a call if any well blew out in South Texas. Our company and Halliburton always worked with Red on blowouts in our area. One day a well blew out between our shop in Alice and the Mexican border. I called for Richard, but the secretary told me he was in Indonesia fighting a wild well. She patched me in to Red, and when he answered I told him I couldn't hear him. He told me "Just a minute" and he slowed his boat down. He told me was was in the middle of Clear Lake and the wind noise was killing the call.

    My cap is long gone, but I still have this belt buckle.
    Cool buckle !!

    ( Funny..... I was wondering if my antics sort of took over this thread......

    Maybe Ron has a thought for a thread to "share memories & photos "...... RON ?? What do you suggest??

    Until then... I can't help myself....... ( Red Adair / Grandpa Seebold ).... OK... an autograph as required in here...

    Newly acquired by Steve Wetherbee. Steve never got the chance to race boats, but he pitted for his Dad Alex who was both APBA National Champion in B Hydro 1951 and NOA World Champion B hydro 1951. His Dad Alex was 100 yards from winning the Albany to New York Marathon in 1949 when he ran out of fuel. Steve's uncle Tommy was a top competitor in the Lone Star racing circuit from the mid sixties to the mid seventies. Alex and Tommy were the ones to beat in B hydro.

    Steve has gotten big time into restoring alky motors and boats in the last several years. He has the A runabout Jim Shoch was driving when he and Jerry Simison stood their boats on the transom and clanked chines at the start at DePue in 1969. He has motors from a lot of other well known drivers as well.

    This is a signed photo Steve picked up recently of Roy Rogers. It is from a promotional poster sent to all Mercury distributors in 1951.

    I had trouble downloading the pic for some reason. Tried three times. If it doesn't work.... I' try again tomorrow..

    This was taken at the Pro Nationals at DePue in 1974. I believe this is D Racing Runabout, allthough it could be CRR. I had thought at first that Fred won D, but it was actually C Racing Runabout that he won that year.

    Hi there! Welcome to the forum! That's a great picture, and certainly a memorable moment to have gotten autographs from all three of those racers. It's quite impressive that they all happened to be in the same place at the same time! What event did they all take part in?
