Butch: In the other thread where the discussion was of the J class records, I had referenced those records as still
standing records for those classes in the 1968 record book. Not bad for some old "white" Merc's.
Something about that weekend in Florida? Chuck Mersereau won the 6 hour marathon that weekend, but I did
not see Jon Culver's name in the standings. But Jon ran in the Kilos and set the records. Was that the same
boat they drove or did Jon have a similar Power Cat to Chuck's ?

Danny,
Jon drove a white PowerCat, not Chucks or Dave's. Jon may have co-driven with Dave, they were pretty close friends. Dave was such an ironman he may have run the race by himself. I was so busy I don't remember much about the race. But there were 96 boats start on the six mile course, and they were so spread out I was passing the tail end boats on the first lap. I started up front though, but couldn't keep up with the Jones Cat being driven by George Thompson as the start boat. There were a lot of cats running that race. I worked in the pits while Treasure drove. The pits were really spread out with all those boats, you just couldn't move around much.

I wanted to run that race so bad but I was a rookie fire fighter that year. I just couldn't risk getting hurt and not making my probation. I had a close one in the "Roaring 100" and figured I better not push my luck.
