Wayne,

As always, thanks for the great pictures. I especially like the one I've reattached below. I may have to make my new C hydro, in a year or two, with a nose similar to it.

Here are some Lone Star drivers from the Pro Nationals at Alex in 1978.

Boy that kid in the Master Oil boat sure looks young......
That weekend was some really good racing..

That was Neil "Bimbo" Bauknight. That was the best "B" rig we ever had. We quit racing 350 hydro after the 78 season and sold it to Bimbo. He flipped and blew the right side out at that race.

O.K. Rusty, here's some more for you, this time close to your home. Beaumont 1980. Who's L-15?

You got me but looking at the picture it looks like Norman Delaune.

As many pics as I still have to post, it's hard to believe it's been almost two years since the last set. These are from the Joe Bowdler Memorial at Baytown, Texas in 1974.

Just because threads like these fall by the wayside from time to time Wayne, don't ever think for a second that no one is looking at them!

I spend many a lunch hour looking through your pics, time and time again!

Thanks for all your efforts...........They still make this the place to be

BTW........last pic--T-711 with the Master Oil Logo on the front, an old boat of yours or a team member?

I know Jeff, but some knew members don't know about all the great things in the archive, but mainly, I've been ignoring putting up the hundreds of other pics of my Lone Star friends that I spent so many enjoyable years with and its time I posted some more.

The red and white hydro T- 711 with the MX 237 logo belongs to Steve Jones. He was from Corpus Christi and was my partner in publicity. We spent many hours working on race programs, going to TV stations and the newspaper in Corpus. His Dad became a Master Oil distributor early on, around 1968, and sold to many area hardware stores, machine shops and refineries.

These pics, also from the Baytown race, were taken by my sister Jan.
