Long Beach to San Fran Race. And you thought Reggie invented the beak :drink:

Ref post #162; I rode with Aranow in Long Beach SanDiego & Next day return. Everybody got a kick out of Bill Cooper & Daryl Jenkins boat "Spooky". Afterwards, Daryl said he just had the fastest enema in world history. Steve Sirois

Too bad our kids will never experience it. Glad I was in that era and in Florida. Great memories...
Thanks to all who have posted pics and stories. Makes me smile.

Great pics!! It's great hearing about the classics first hand from someone who was there.
Just a couple of miner clarifications, Rocky first raced a 28' Barcone (S-911) in sportsman class prior to purchasing "Spirit". "Copper Kettle" in post 74 is a "Gara" hull-later the molds were sold to Corsa.
Question-In post 75, what boat is 452 "Killer...", it appears to be a 28 Bertram. Any idea what hull this is??
Keep the pics coming!

It was my boat - Needle Nose - sold the boat to Ken Black - he repainted it for his wife ! - heard the boat burned in a fire at a whse.

Allen - my boat ran a pair of 290 hp - Hollman Moodys - on Volvo drives (had to Bungi cord the drives however -
