    Here's yours truly at Lake Maggiore. The lake was so shallow they didn't use buoys for turn markers. They drove big wooden stakes into the lake bottom. I tore up by best prop on broken off one of those things in turn one the day these pics were taken.Click image for larger version.

    I remember the course at Lakeland being the fastest for stock outboards and alky's, Lake Hollingsworth. I saw the best Alky races ever there in 1966. Almost every race set a record, and it was a little windy too. Last heat of F Hydro the first three boats broke the competition record with the first two blowing over at the finish. Dick ODea was the winner. I wish they had cell phones then, i could have gotten pictures. I was home from Nam on emergency leave. My mother was in the hospital there. They kicked us out for awhile and we started driving. I heard the unmistakable sound of Quincy Mercs and found the races.

    The last time I saw Tommy we were getting ready for the restart of an elimination heat in SG class at Eufala in 1973. The restart was because of the accident that had killed Robbie Knight. We exchanged greetings and then we took the start. Never saw him again after that. Good guy. Heard he died much too young.
