Didn't she survive a barrel roll in a Scarab during a race. Had a beer name on the side. Michelob Light ???? or something like that???

The Michelob Boat barrel rolled in a St Pete Race !It was not Bettys Boat !

Betty Cooks old shop in
Costa Mesa Ca. Today, Its

Guy who could fill in a
lot of your Questions is

I believe her cat was called 'KUDU'. Saw her run out of Marina Del Rey many moons ago. She beat drivers (Crews) like Norskog, Rocky Aoiki, Arnow and all the greats. Was, is and will always be one of my all time heros.

Rambunctious - You never heard of Betty Cook???
:confused: Shame on you.

Bob G. Your knowledge of this stuff always blows me away.

So, what is a KAAMA you ask? I believe it is a fast animal, like a gazzelle. Am I right Bob?

You can also find Betty
Cook in the MotorSports
Hall of Fame, Ya Gotta be
great to be there.

Ron P,

Yes you're right kinda like a Gazzelle....a KAAMA is sort of like an African deer------a part of the Heartabeast family of animals.

Ram... try to find a copy of Thunder Boat Row it's a book by Micheal Arrnow (Don's Son) or Searace by Crouse. Between the to two books it should bring you up to speed so you can swap stories with your dad and his buddy. Then if you want some info on Don's murder try Speed Kills by ? and Blue Thunder by Thomas Burdick. From what I have gathered the best thing to do is read them all, since they are from different perspective.

Then you will be able to bull**** with almost anyone!;) or at least follow along with them!!:D

TTT

..also check out the NJPPC's library..some nice shots of KAAMA & the KUDU cat..

:cool:
