    Being as Willabee added a little levity to the site, I will add those gents who open Hot Singles on water to a Larger Audience.

    Elvis, Burt Reynolds and Don Johnson to name a few of the contributors of showcasing Hot Singles.

    I think the Hollywood guy who caught the most public attention and movie goers imagination, was
    007 Bond, James Bond.

    Especially Roger Moore in his boat chasing/escape/jumping scenes.

    This pic of the Sunday start reveals that Denis Berghauer was also running a single pipe C6 at Havasu in 1970. He's the red Jones between the 998 and the 254 .....

    Denis is running a Jones with twins. Tom Stickle is running a Molinari with a single pipe C6. Was Bill Petty's boat a Glastron Molinari with twins? My memory is getting just as bad...I think. Nope...I'm wrong...can't quite get the boat to motor count right...need better glasses. Let's see...Petty, Sirios, Berghauer, Stickle....damn

    The guy (Gary G.) with the white pants on overlooking the team, with all that hardware & manpower costs, better bring home to the Mercury Brass some good race results.
