Video
Interview with Jim Talbott and Mark Mathes (of Emerald City Harbor - At least I think that is who it is...I have never met him as a adult) sometime in late 77 or 78. The quality is bad but then again the video gear of that era was not so hot. It's the only video I have of my father.
Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mRzWX_UlHY Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPr5uj5qH2Q I have some footage of the actual Race and another interview. I will post soon. |

Dave in 1994 I was Honored to receive the L.S.C.O.R.A. Burns Talbot Award. This was a great way to Honor your Dad and Walt Burns, two men who we owe many of the Safety Rules we now race by today.

These pics were displayed at the LSCORA finale....Mark M's sister-in-law Sherry put them together for us. I will give Mark a copy to give to you when you get together. That curly haired guy to your dad's right is Dave Rutkowski....still a regular around here at the Harbor.

I have been talking with Dave Rutkowski via email and Phone. I can't tell everyone how cool this is to finally start to get info on my dad. For 29 years I was in a bubble, then my wife caught wind of this forum and BAM! In 5 days I am starting to uncover more than I ever thought I would. Thanks to everyone!

Dave, I am glad to have helped! Say hello to Dave R.
Later, pepe @ pantera. |
Dave,
I found a few pictures of your dad's boat. My Email address is BOBG1060 at netzero. com I'll email you soon-very busy at work and also working on my raceboat for the Ocean City Md. Race. Your story is very similar to a situation here on OSO last year where the daughter of a fatal crash victim came to this site last year. "Still Crazy" was involved in a tragic crash in Key West. The daughter of the racer came here and herd alot of great stories of her dad. I'm glad you found this site! Welcome to OSO!! Bob |

How many remember this Chris Craft, they came out around 1975. A white and red 8 Meter called CC Rider raced in P class back then in the Great Lakes. But their was another one called the Maverick raced by Steve Baum in the sport class back then. It was a White hull with smallblock Mecruiser Tempest engines and the new Trs drives, and it was Fast. But sadly the Maverick rolled over in a turn and killed Walt Burns at the 1975 Blue Lagoon Classic on Lake St Clair. Steve retired the hull, but later used it's basic design to build the Maverick boat's he and Lew Cooper [Miss Gallo] raced.
