Haggin was a good help to the sport at a time when he was greatly needed. Thank you sir!
Back in the 60's and 70's Bill Wishnick, World Champion back in the days when you had to travel the world for that title. He was probably the sport's first official billionaire and often made races happen by adding quietly whatever was needed for $$. After he retired from the sport he continued to enjoy the spreading of his $$ for others enjoyment. On a regular basis he had a favorite ice cream shop in Pt Pleasant that he would walk in and just pick up the tab for everyone in there. He did the same thing with restaurants in California a few times too. The sport has been very lucky to have guys like this in our sport. |
What, nobody is going to mention Al Copeland?

John Haggin brought so much to Offshore Powerboat Racing and even though he has left the sport his contribution to the sport was great. The video of the Miss Geico and AMF Racing Convoy going by the overpass was something very special. Thank you Mr. Haggin for everything you did for the sport, this fan appreciates it and won't ever forget those days when you were aways at the races walking around.

Forever Your Friend, Love, Haggin You are still missed and thought of by anybody that had anything to do with Offshore Powerboat Racing from Racers, volunteers to the spectators who were always in AWE of the Miss Geico Race Team like myself and still are today.
