Default Pictures fro around 1973

Attached are photos from Robert Kraft who was an accountant at Magnum in the early days of Apeco. He has more photos that he is trying to locate,and most of them will be from 188st.
For the photo with the 29"9' Thumper which we have the only one remaining...does any one have any more photos.I have collected a few,however having some difficulty in constructing the rear hatch which was stolen in Marina DelRay.Rebuilt 427 tall deck will be put on the dyno, the 6th by Bob Oetringer,motor rebuilt by Roger Munn.
That Imp has a small block Chevy and sits in storage in the Chicago area. Bud

And in this pic of the Michigan racers from around 1974, Kenny Black & Sandy Black when they just started racing his Mag, it even still has the bucket seats. Next in line the LiL SMIDGEN, than the Donzi Doral of Jim Krause that became P-300 HEAT WAVE. The last pic is how she looks today from my collection of Back In The Day offshore boats.

Great pic of Ken and Sandy. Thanks to FB I talk to Sandy occasionally.

Here is her FB link: http://www.facebook.com/sandy.bethune1

Ken's kids also. The 24 Doral became the 24 sonic which was stretched to what is now the 31SS. Great pics... thanks H.

He is a pic of Kenny & Sandy racing the Mag & of Sandy's when she had her own race boat the PINK 28' Bertram KILLER. Sandy later married Bill Bethune who also raced on Lake St Clair a boat called HAIRY CANARY.
