It is great to see these honors bestowed in this favorite sport. Yes, I recall dreaming about boats and Rolls Royce Griffon & Merlin 12 cylinders while enjoying everyone's take on the sport. Thank you kindly, Thunderboats...
Love the sport, but signs are pointing to it won’t be around much longer.. In 1970, when I 1st started going to races in Detroit.. 17 boats would show up, and 15 would qualify.. they would have heat 1A, 1B, and 1C..now the don’t even run in Detroit anymore.. and the races I see have 1 have 1 heat 3 times then a final.. with 4 or 5 boats total.. scares me
