Neat to see spectators watching from the top of those boathouse roofs!
Attachment 440098
The race was in Parry Sound, 1973.. part of the Belvedere Challenge Cup Series. In one long weekend, we raced in three different towns/cities - Saturday in Orillia, Sunday in North Bay and Monday in Parry Sound.

Yes , 73 was a higher level year as was 74. Great picture. They likely built for the low years in the early mid 60s. We're pretty close or more this year, just under 86 level.
This pic was posted by peterse90 on another thread, same venue I believe. With a young kid's head on a swivel watching.Last edited by FMP; 06-08-2019 at 01:09 PM.

BURNS - SJ Racing
I raced a Burns for 2 years in SJ. Good handling in the straights and while the other SJ guys were scrubbing all their speed off in the turns by burying their hulls to turn sharp next to buoys, my Burns would float thru the turns in a greater arc and higher speed giving me 3 boat lengths in the lead right after the turn and stable at speed for the next straight run. When you do that for the laps, guess who got 1st place? I never really lifted my throttle foot on inboard courses.

I think the SJ kilo record was well over 100 mph.

HydroStream Puma
Did Howard Pipkorn actually build this boat? (Piece-built wood construction). I have the utmost respect for anybody willing to run an OMC V4 in a sport class dominated by Mercs. Was the idea back then to use the OMC V4 lower power curve to swing a large pitch cleaver? I never could get a big thru hub exhaust cleaver to work but it was a different story swinging a round ear bass boat prop in SJ. I never could see good rpm's on the top end with anything above 27 inches. The guys who could make anything like 28-30 inches work must have had hulls made out of paper (LOL).

Thank you for blowing up this great picture of Parry Sound 1973 (I was there !!).
988 is Dick Summerfeldt in his Milesmaster Twister 2, U-13 is Ludy Schindler in a beautiful Scotti / Stinger GP and U77 is Andre Savard in a Burns with T2. Summerfeldt also had another identical Miles driven by Brian Smith #588 but Brian barrel rolled and was probably not in this heat.
