We were at that also. I had a 22 Apache called Red Thunder, Bob Loeffler was there in his new 24 Skater at the time prior to his racing career. We went all the races back then.
Great times
Definitely 87

Greg, those pictures are great. I'm re-building Faro Blanco right now with the resort re-opening this coming December. All new marina, Yacht Club, and hotel. Perfect location for the races to come back to....
