The champions of the offshore often came from the circuit.
In Italy for instance Giulio De Angelis, one of the best and faster driver of Europe of the seventies, he had been champion in the circuit.

Great thread! Keep it going, I love this stuff! One of my fondest memories is walking out of my house, and seeing D ick Sherrer's raceboat in my driveway!

My dad was probably on that boat off the Texas City Dike in 1970. He worked that race...
