Cool thread. Jimi, my family didn't get involved with SOA until 1997 so help me with some of these people. I recognize Craig Fjarlie in the background, yourself, Jeff & Kristina Kelly, Pat Gleason & maybe Laurie in the background. How about the rest?

Just curious
Jim

up front is me, Kelly's, my friend Louis, Shaw's & Gleason.

Dean- Same motor?

Dana- we might be toying with that idea again(turn before the bridge). Personally, I think it would work out great for building up more spectators.

MGallagher,

Yes, same motor (different gas tank).... 506879 serial number... I still own it.

It now has the original Green tank and lower cowl with original serial number plate on it.

That first photo is me in my JSR at Lock Haven. 1982.

Back in those days the J's raced a smaller course...not going under the bridge.

Dana, I think I stopped racing in 1980. I can't remember!!!! But, I am back!

Next generation

Where is the next generation of each of these guys ?

I have raced against Roger Hoffman's sons and Roy Miner's son Ricky.
They have long retired from the sport as far as I know. I don't know much about the rest of them.

the Mack-Attack!

Mackey,

Good to see you had legal numbers back in the day. Who was your helper removing the deck numbers from your boat? Who would've guessed that from such humble beginings.....

Those pics really make me realize how long we've had to put up with your shenanigans!

PS - For Ron Hill: the bottom two pics are from Janesville, WI
