Hi Chick ..... Thanks for clearing up that little mystery. The guys were talking about a gal taking pictures at boat races and Mary was the only person that came to mind. However, since I knew you were running #125 and the pic shows this woman putting a liplock on the driver in #309, I said to myself "that can't be Mary!" :DQuote:

Those were really great times in boat racing..C
My enduring image of Mary is standing with her camera at pit out at the Marine Stadium.

125 after Lake X crash and Bill Rowell owner of 309. He was the tech rep for APBA and is checking engine after I hour record run in Key West. You can see Mary peaking out from behind Bill. I was just hanging around.
That was a good day in Key West. Several records set including yours truly.
Key West Outboard Club's race course was great. I always loved racing there. Too bad there is no film or video from those races.
Chick you're still the Man!!!
TY. Great memories, although I don't know any of us from that time remember anything.
I remember a little. Maybe being older helps something. Stock Island was our favorite race place too. Bob Reid was the nicest guy in the Keys. I don't know if he put on the races you guys were at or not. We raced there until 1964. I ran my first race there too, in an Aristo Craft Torpedo 13 around 1958. Bob Waldo, Dade Marine, put a Mark 30 on it but it was jacked up too high and overheated. Next time I raced there I put a stock lower unit on my M20H Holt Craft BU, ran the 30hp class and got a trophy. I also met Tom Sheldon there and found out our mothers were friends from Fla State College for Women. I have many memories from that place, all good too.Quote:
