jimbo
some of the pictures are not the greatest. This was my first time using a SLR with a 400mm telephoto lens.

last one for now
for you Allison fans
E production class
Lead boat was Tom Toth. That Allison was US-1 for Four years when they ran it with a 85 merc on the back prior to switching to a E motor.

The Vipers were competetive, but the Venturas ruled.

# 392 actually did very well at the 1975 OPC Nationals.
Allen Nelson from Kankakee, IL had Ben Robertson in his elim. heat. The two fought between 1st and 2nd on each lap they raced, only to have Benny win at the end by a small margin.
In the final Allen went into the first turn in 1st or 2nd place only to cut off by another Hydrosteam (whom I won't tell who it is) and was pushed back to maybe 9th place.
This boat always showed 79 mph.on the Keller speedo.
Allen consistly won over Ron Baker ( factory Hydrosteam Driver).
The boat finialy sustained major hull damage in Madison, WI (from rough water).
