Here are some of mine. Mostly from across the pond and I've included some race instructions as well. They are not especially venerable but they are all from the last century!

A couple of forum members have asked about some of the race program covers that I posted last week.

The complete Trump Castle program can be found at

Here's the 89/90 Offshore Racing Annual and Directory. Thought I would have it done yesterday but a tornado and power loss in our neck of the woods got in the way.

Here is a race program for this Lake St Clair memorial race honoring these two racers. Walt Burns was the first U.S.A. offshore fatality. Bill Talbott was also a Local Lake St Clair racer who was died racing his 27' Signature Aft-R-U-too .

Many times we forget how dangerous this sport can be, and those who have given their all for that which they love to do........

H20, The son of Bill Talbott was on OSO a few years ago looking for info/photos of his dad's boat. I informed him I had a few pics (of the Barnegat race were the fatality occured). I knew I had pics-but they were buried among thousands of pics that I had. One rainy Saturday, I found three pics of the boat-the best Picture had Aft-R-U in the lead! I looked up Talbotts address and forwarded him pictures almost a year after he requested them. I was glad I found them, but never heard from him, I hope he liked them.

I believe I sent him some information also back then. Aft-R-U became CHEAP THRILLS out Ohio in the mid 80's. Bob I believe won the 1986 A class Worlds in Key West with her. I found her on ebay last year and thought about adding her to my colection but I felt it would be to much work to bring her back. This is what the last owner did to her....:ack2: Mark h2o

That'd be a good candidate for the paint gone wrong thread !

 

[1BADC4]

very cool

And

Great to see the cover featuring Jack Bisop's M80. I was on the team in 85-86. great times. shame there is hardly any photos online of this boat or the rig he trailered it with. good ole days. I still have my jacket.

Welcome.

I think I recall a tractor trailer rig with a big box on back of Tractor. Did the boat sit on a flat bed trailer too?

I first went to races as a spectator at '85 Worlds. Returned the following year crewing my buddies boat. It was very different back then.
