Lake DePue PRO Nationals trivia challange

[racingfan1]

2011 marks the 27th consecutive year for the PRO Nationals on Lake Depue. I thought it would be fun to look back at the happenings of the first 26 years. So with with the help of the DePue Mens Club PRO nationals programs I have come up with trivia questions to test the memories of racers and fans. So everyday til the races begin I will post a question and a couple days later the answer will follow. Hope you enjoy it. Just one disclaimer , I am taking the questions from the program information. Here we go.

We know this person now for great boat racing photography , but racing is in the backround also , along with a National championship at Lake DePue. Can you name the person , the class , and what year it was won????????

Eileen Van Steenwyk.
She won the stock Yamato class just before it became our OSY400 class of today!

Ben, it was 1997, not 1995. But I had to check the plaque on the wall in the hallway to make sure.

Question 2

A little inside information never hurts Joe.

So since we are talking about Lake DePue lets talk about DePue. Question 2 is can u name the native DePue drivers that have won a National on their home waters. To make it a bit harder lets go for the driver , year and what class??????

Paulie B. 2007 125R and 2010 250r

Tony Walk 2006 500r

Mitch Bosnich 1991 250r

Nationals

Ray

Ray and Ben detentions

OK both Ben and Ray get a detention for failing to read the question thoroughly. It stated native of DePue for Ben and won on home waters for Ray. LOL

Question 3 and answer 1

Do you remember the old RB class , actually the RBH lasted til 2005 but the RBR last year was 1989. Before the RBR died there were 2 drivers that swept both RB classes at the same PRO Nationals , can you name them and extra credit if you guess the years???

And yes the answer to questionn 1 was Teri , actually it says Teresa in the program, Ziemer and it was OSY400 in 1997.

[WalkF109]

I will guess Bill Van and Alan Fedderson. If either of those are correct, I will take a stab at years.

[WalkF109]

There is another DePue native who won a Nationals but not on his home water. Can you guess the name, class, location, and year?
