The Benihana Grand Prix At The king's Grant inn Point Pleasant N.J.

I actually appear in the video as a 13 year old at the 18:02 mark (blue and white sweat jacket, and glasses, in the foreground). We debuted our new 35' Cigarette "Conspiracy" at the 1976 Marina Del Rey race. 40 years ago, Yikes!

No video of Really Ridiculous, oh well I tried. Sammy James and Preston Henn did very well with the Bertram 38 hull. Still smiling though, great times.
