BLAST FROM THE PAST GALLERY
In this gallery we will be displaying pictures from boat racing's rich history. Check back, we will be adding more pictures soon.


The E-72 with Jim Latimer in Wenatchee, WA. 1987.


This was my second year of racing. I was 11 years old and this is in turn one at Loutsis Lake in Duvall. This boat and engine was given to me by Brian Anderson and my dad painted it up for me. We still have that boat!! - Dustin Echols (driver of the UL-17)


This shot was taken by Jim Mowrey in 1979 of Wil Muncey at Alexanders Resort on Lake Sammamish in the Corsair  formerly the Sabre Dance built by Jim Mowrey in 1976


This picture was shot at the Jim Spinner Memorial Regatta on Lk Sammamish,
in May of 1978.  

Jim Mowrey designed/built this particular "Sabre Dance" 280 hull in 1976 (this was his 2nd Sabre Dance).  He still vividly recalls this heat - Neal Yapachino's roostertail in the "Joyia Mia" can be seen just to Jim's inside - they had a great side by side race!


Green Lake Memorial Day Regatta, May 1976.  Steve Reynolds in White Lightening against Jim Kropfeld in Country Boy, both 225 Class hydroplanes.
 
Jim Kropfeld showed up at Green Lake in a new Staudacher Country Boy that was very fast. Steve was still driving his Norm Berg hull.  Steve knew he would have to run very, very hard to beat Kropfeld.  Both Jim & Steve were flying at the start - upon entering the first turn at Green Lake, the White Lightening  lifted its outside sponson and blew over. Pictures donated by Jim Mowrey


Alexander's Beach on Lake Sammamish. Spring of 1978. Bill Muncey came to watch Wil Muncey, his son, race that day.
