I also remember Don Gano was damn fast, and Tom Scheidt who came along somewhat later. Tom soon was kicking everybody's butt on a regular basis. There are so many others too.
Your story about getting that 55H put together from parts reminds me of a lot of engine work that was done IN THE HOUSE, even on the kitchen table. The good old days.... Anyway after family racing retirement in 1970 I got into racing dirt bikes, never got in another race boat.
