No boobies?

Well, beside the lack of skin, the clock is facing us and the boats are coming toward us also. Figure 8 track?

Ricochet112,
That is what I wanted you to notice, I will have to have someone who raced there explain this to us. The clock is on the wrong side of the river or is facing the wrong way!!!!!

I guess it's an up and down the river race, looks too narrow for standard turns, more of a marathon type race, and the start was from right to left.

???

I'll make more comments after more people get to see this.

Maybe like the ODA clock it has a face on both sides so spectators on either side can watch the time as the boats come down for the start.

Looks like a typical Wisconsin race course from the 70's...I know the vehicles are older but I think that may one of the places they used to race.

(from a young kids perspective) Don Sr. brought us over from Michigan in the 1971 to race in Wisconsin...pretty much unheard of back then to stray away from your home state. We get to the race and I ask him where the race course was. He said right there, see the buoy’s? I think at 12 I could have thrown a rock across the river and think they are just messing with me. After watching the first couple heats I was even more petrified to go out. You couldn’t put the boat in the water before the other heat finished because someone would run into it. Don & Big Mike Johnson tell me that I’ll be fine and just go race. I get to the first turn and darn near put it on the bank…they didn’t tell me you might have to back way off even in a J. I think we were going 30 MPH in our JU. I came in and those two were laughing so hard they could hardly talk. Warnock or Cooper will have to tell me the name of the course. (years later it is where Al Becheraini (sp) ran up on shore) I never got a chance to race there again for some reason… So that is why I think that picture is in Wisconsin.

No.No.No....You're all wrong! This must be Austrailia. Everything is backwards there.

Looks like the Delaware water Gap, Kittatiny if that is how you spell. Started going the other way with clock on pit side.

HUH? Are you taking grammar lessons from richardkcmo? Reminder, do not drink and post

Don-
You might be thinking of Waukesha, WI. Just outside of Milwaukee.

Dave is right Delaware Water Gap great bar at the top of the hill up the long set of steps. There was a dog leg in the course also as the river curved there right past the clock.
