Over the years on S & F we have recognized Mr. Lanham as a man of many talents. However, several pictures have surfaced recently that clearly demonstrate painting numbers on the side of a race boat is not his strong suit! :D

You would be hard pressed to find anybody that does sign painting by hand anymore. All done by computer software and 2D plot cutters. Vinyl materials have been vastly improved too. Last time I saw pin striping by hand was at Big Dog Motorcycles inn Wichita KS in the 90's.

I checked Powerboat, they didn't list the standings after the first 4 hours of racing Saturday. They did list the top 30 finishers and showed how many laps they completed each day. From that group, here is their Saturday result:

69 laps - Scotti, Sanders, Sirois, George
68 laps - Sherrer
66 laps - Hauenstein
65 laps - McConnell, Hill,
64 laps - Eis, Burnette, Quale, Witt
62 laps - Craig, Allan, Kitson, Eagerton
61 laps - Lanham, Posey

Bet that was kind of a 'cold' ride back to Florida. :D

Hey Bill--does that Powerboat article show the Sunday result??

We loaded up Sunday afternoon--and drove non-stop back to Miami--

Seven days later-

The two hour race at the Marine Stadium--

...Ug! I have done that. From Manhattan Beach California to Ft. Lauderdale...driving non-stop with one other driver, Chevy crewcab dually, warmed over 454, larger extra fuel tank in bed with a fuel switching valve for fewer stops, towing a new large offshore boat. Think it was 48 hours of night & day of driving hell. Ah, to be young...(almost forgot...had to drive out there just as quick! Another 48!)
