500cc hydros at Denton, now that's what I'm talking about

Yes, you could turn them
Yes, you pulled the pipe
and YES, it was a hell of a lot of fun

[Bill Huson]

yeah 500ccH at Denton!

Don't recall the name, but he was from Atlanta with a black 500ccH boat and black team uniforms. He strolled out on the dock and struck up a converstaion with my son Jeff which went something like this . . .

Atlanta: "Boy, ah unnerstan we gonna register in that thar clubhouse, but where we gonna race?"

Jeff: "Right here." *evil grin*

Atlanta: (eyebrows scrunched in rebuke) "Boy, you're pulling mah laig, now where we gonna race?"

Jeff: (pointing) Start clock goes there, first turn up by that far bridge, second turn right out here. It's kinda narrow."

Atlanta: (stunned look - staggers off dock)

He raced and had a great time, came back the following year.

Galletta

That would have been Robert Galletta. All black shirts, pants, trailer and boats. I remember him trying to get that 500cc opened up at Denton.

How many people did it take to pick up Tims boat and put it in the water?

[HRTV]

I never had the pleasure but I heard Tim's boat was a heavy Army tank !

What, you mean Moby Dick? It was a featherweight

[Bill Huson]

Tim's boat was a lightwieght . . .

compared to the 500 (or was it 700?) boat from West Virginia that me'n Dave Augustine hefted at Zanesville. The owner/driver had a nice rig, built by an OPC tunnel builder. Mistake. I swear that thang was carved out of a solid white ash log. I believe it could have survived a direct hit from an anti-tank rocket. After that heat neither me or Dave could stand up straight - ouchyback. I had to swallow several pain pills just to climb in my truck for the trip home, as a passenger, no driving while zonked fer me.

MJR got it - Robert Galleta. Last time I saw him race was at Depue. I seem to recall he flipped in the first turn. In the muddy first turn :-(

'93? I know you guys were there, but Tim's boat has an Australian flag on it. I guess that was left over from the 500cc WC held at Lakeland, FL on the October 9/10 of '93. What month was Denton?

Boat weight, were y'all lifting the boat with Tim in it? Everybody wants a lightweight boat that last forever That boat was probably a retired "Proprider"
