Joel Halpern and Joey Ipolitto in the Bushmills California race in 1979. They were doing well and running up front with a pack.....but then....Nordskog decided to stand his 38 Scarab on it's tail and when itcame back down, it spun and rolled up on one side. Both of these guys stopped to help. They found the navigator in the bow of the boat. The mechanic who was Bob Teagues brother, Norm, was in the water, but hurt and Nordskog was knocked out...but he was still breathing. So they tied him with a rope to the tie bar and took off again to race. The two hurt racers spent a night or so in the hospital, but came out OK.
