Now you have more reason to hate me......I just won the invitational Vintage Nostalgia class with the #57 'A-boat'! And a sweet trophy!
Newport was the river race site this weekend which saw the 'Dirty Dozen' Nostalgia fleet wow the residents. (they are only 'dirty' cause all 12 crews worked hard all three sunny days on their aging craft) We ran first off with the fast A heat which saw George Nordlings Lavey and new driver Mike Devore win overall with the Hondo of Team Davis a close second. Steve's red Hondo took third with Scott's Sanger runner having handling problems & finishing fourth.
In the SK class: Marc H. in his Barron Sprint ran hard and consistant to top the field of seven. Robbie's drag Sanger captured second followed by our former Champion in his Aquacraft. The new GIRL Cheryl in her yellow Sanger owned by (HONDOSANGER-Big AL) from Sedro Wooley Wa. snapped a Vertex rotor and ruined her otherwise perfect driving performance. Dad, Al, had his bad Sanger cruiser in the river helping tow the unfortunate home and to support his pretty daughter whenever possible. Nice job DAD but you oue me for the magneto rental!
The other SK boats of 'FiveO' (Ror L.) and jErKizoid, (Bombers hero) were invited to run the Vintage class where they fought for the flatbottoms bragging rights while running deck to deck with the Inboard Hydroplanes. I only won by running all four heats but did show off a bit with photo starts and finishes in 3 out of 4 runs. Dang that LS7 scares me! Best dang time I have ever had! The Mod 5liter of H&S Marine nipped me at the line twice by one sponson! This is what the host club loved to see as we were guests of AOF and the State Line Outboard Hydroplane Club.
Next race: Ione Wa. Labor Day weekend! A possible Silverdale Unlimited Light race is being considered for August IF we can get commitments from YOU to race there in salt water! Tow money has been offered, contact George Nordling or myself.
Thank you Flat Rat for your devotion and great help in my pits! I couldnt have done so well without you and your wifes help! Also, thank you Dear Wife, Mrs. Bomber.......I finally got 'Greaser' running!
