About time you showed up.

Dave Craig had the boat on the right, who was in the other one?

Nice vintage car in the shot to give a little 60's period feel.

Hi Rich.

[NJgr8ful]

Magic Throttles Arms himself in the Apache thread and now THE "magic throttle arm" narrator himself joins the crew! Welcome Rich and another Jersey rep in da house.

By the way...That photo is courtesy of ex Lake X employee..Digital Jef.

To Charlie's question...the 7000 boat may never have been raced..... According to Dave Switzer's interview in Extreme boats 2 years ago...I believe that is the boat he referred to as being custom built for Carl Kiekhaefer. The "Gulfwind Marine" signage was always related to Odell who is seen in the background in that photo, but I have no record of that hull in any races..... If it did run it may have been in the Gold Coast Marathon... and perhaps broke down. The pictures have 1966 Merc stripes on the motors....and all but one of the wooden wings seemingly disappeared soon afterward.

That car has been driving me crazy. I,too,first thought a Chrysler 300,but something wasn't right,especially the taillights and headlights. I believe it is a 1962 Imperial,tho made by Chrysler,technically it is a separate brand of it's own,Imperial.If business wasn't so bad i wouldn't have time for such trivia Thanks,Rich,very rare photo.

That is a cool pic and looks to be in front of the housing quarters aka "The Motel" at The Lake.

[RACESDAD]

i loved that place

[Edward R. Cozzi]

It's definitely a 1962 Imperial. That was the only year they did the taillights like that.

You know we are a bunch of old farts when everybody recognises a 1962 Imperial..........

What makes us "special" old farts is when the same group recognises the "wings".

Great photo, thanks for posting it. I always loved the tail lights on that car- straight out of the Jetsons. Or was it the other way around? Perfect complement to the wings.
