Undoubtedly, Ric's been on the lake since he was a youngster. His pops built their first HB in '64 or so. They still have permit no. 22.
As some might already know...My old man crashed his Sanger Hydro doing over 100mph back in Big Creek at Lake Don Pedro. He is in a pretty bad state right now. We are going to have a very long road to recovery.
I wanted to let you guys know that we are having a golf tournament to help support my family through these rough times.
More details to come. We should have some great raffle prizes there that you wont need to be present to win. The tourn will be in the Bay Area just outside of Fremont

Thanks so much
Im sorry to hear about your dad I was looking at his pics and he looks very familiar I used to work at the marina when I was in High School so I probably have met him and you before. He is in our prayers for a speedy recovery.

Very sad news. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Thoughts and prayers for your dad and family. I hope it all works out
btw what years did he race BGH and what boat?
Sorry to hear about the crash, at least he had some safty gear on. All of us shoud really learn from stuff like this. things can happen in seconds. Many of us have 80-100-120+ mph boats and we should probably start practicing more saftey when we roll into it.
Hope your dad recovers completely....

He started out mid 70's I think with a boat named Typical Toad. Then eventually made it up to BGH with a boat name GOTCHA 271.http://a351.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...bb76f9506e.jpg
Here's a shot of his first Sanger, the Typical Toad:

Probably taken around 76-77.
Thoughts and prayers for your Dad to make a full recovery.

That's sad news, hopefully your dad recovers completely.
Being how he's loves boats I'm sure he'd love to ride again.
Reason I asked is brother Steve (Nice Pair) and I raced BGH (Rapid Transit) in 76-77. We more than likley raced with your pop. We wish him the very best and hope for a full and speedy recovery!
