Very cool. Here's my 1976 Ventura II with a 1974 1500E, later repowered with a 1976 Black Max 175.

Yes...the two pics of the Shooting Star are my dad in Miami 1962...he won and got a 5' trophy...taller than me at the time...that will be mine some day. Did you notice the stylish life "vest"? Hard to believe they were legal then....when did they change to the regular orange ones? I started racing in 68-69 and I had the orange one then. My dad had one in 67 also.
