Bonus points for knowing the boats owner?

Lady's name start with M?

[2us70]

Yup.

[lilabner]

Yup.

She grew up next door to me. Very nice family. She was like Lucy in Peanuts though. I never saw her looking as good as she grew up to be. I left in 1964 and never knew she knew the boat racers. I always had race boats in my yard too. About 20 years ago Treasure told me she came to her animal clinic. I asked her how she looked and she said absolutely beautiful. Well, I had to go to the boat show and find her. We had a nice reunion. Gary P. Had always been a good friend and the last time I saw him before I joined the Marines he was going with a girl named Linda and wanting to race boats. I missed a lot. Time sure flies, fun or not.

You need to go over to Scream and Fly site and set the record straight on v_6 history. I know you are an old fart like me, but history needs to be accurate

Actually I think that this is Hering. Spalding drove it after Hering was done with it.

Oh. All I can say is the man certainly had good taste in women.

And if you know who the boats skipper is, you might know who the piccy chick is/was...

#309 Zonkercraft - was the drivers name Ettinger?

William,
Was not Ettinger. 309 belonged to Bill Rowell. I used it after I destroyed 125 at Lake X testing. (I know you remember). That was Mary with Congrats after the Closed Course record in Ufalla. (U Class).. C

That picture is almost certainly Chick Gagen in the boat. The owner was Bill Rowell who also drove the boat. I recall it as being run as a UI boat and doing pretty well especially with Chick in the seat.
