Whats cool about the pics is that photo shop didn't exist back
then. How appropriate the boats name is Red Barron, That's some sick air thanks for posting.

hehheh, that would be funny to hear someone say : "'shopped!"

I did the same thing racing the old Hogs Breath Boat in Ft Myers during hurricane/Tropical storm Allison, 5-7' waves, Really fun times :) I Planted my feet up against the bulkhead for support and didn't realize it was buckeling my toes in my shoes, My two big toe nails turned black & blue and I had no clue cause that wasn't even on my mind :)

Wow! Now that's Offshore Racing!

the original cat vs vee !! lol

Flight,,, back in the day . :drink:

Happy New Year Gene: You taught me how to do it, you were the best on the trim and sticks, I am beholding to you for my success. Amazing how high and how far we could fly boats at 70 to 90 mph back then, I think it was called ocean racing, and there were actual waves for 200 miles A LOT OF WAVES and a lot of air time and stick work. Guess that was then.

Then. They were the good old days , Richie. And back then there was also Parker--Havasu---the Lake---Fond du Lac----N. E. 17th Ave-----we had it all Richie---

I have to write the book one day, we did/had it all from when OPC was just Vbottom, then the first Molinari`s when they came to the lake and scared the hell out of everyone the way they turned on a dime etc., and the old powercats 1960`s era, the Switzers etc, we did em all

That book would be a best seller Richie! Get on it, I want a copy.:drink:
