Willabee believe it or not that was when I actually won a race. Here is another not so hot single I ran. I wrecked this boat and started at Mercury right after.
Anybody remember this one. I think I posted it several years ago but can't remember.
Boat is a little wet for Bob.
Okay Jackie you probably won't be stumped on this one but I have to try anyway. Where and when was this photo taken.
Jackie: Remember who the guy on the right of me is?
