Offshore reunion.
Just got off the phone with Mel Riggs. We are interested in having a reunion of what's left of the '60s offshore racers. Sam James, Butch Stokes, Richie Powers, Odell Lewis, etc. Charlie McCarthy could be our coordinator. If you have some ideas and/or participants, let's hear it.

You guys should contact David Woods @ Pier 57. I bet he would be all over a deal like this.
I would be honored to meet you all as well! |
Would be absolutely fantastic to say the least, great idea go 4-IT :circle::Score-101010::cheer::boat:-J
|
What due i have to due to just serve drinks to you guys and listen........Free labor and willing to travel.........
|
Mike, I'll Help You Pour!
|
would you gentlemen be interested or ok with the idea of videoing or taping of some sort? the stories would be pretty amazing i am sure
|
Brownie....I'll be in your neighborhood next week. If you have a moment or two, we can go over the details. Spoke to Bill Wishnick recently, I am sure he would love to come also.

I'm buying the drinks!!!!..........:drink:
I may even come out of "retirement" for that event!! |
WOW! What an awesome idea! I am bringing my video camera and regular camera. Will there be a place to bring or park our boats? If there is I will bring the thunderbird along! I might even have it shipshape enough to let Mel and O'dell and whoever else wants to take her for a spin. Who else wants to take their boats from the 60's?
At any rate we should pick out a date, I asume it will be at Mel's marina or close to it. May I suggest the weekend before or the weekend after the EAA fly-in at Oshkosh, That would be last part of july or first part of august, Just a thought. Any way lets do it! I will help anyway I can, just let me know! I would love to meet these guys, and the thought of being able to meet them all at the same time is just unbelievable! I wonder if speed channel or discovery channel would like to do a documentery or something, this will be a rare opportunity to document some very important offshore racing history. It would also help promote offshore racing. Maybe I'm going overboard but what do you guy's think? |
