While traveling back home we pulled in to a hotel in Ill. and met a guy in parking lot. I was wearing one of those shirts that make you look like your a walking billboard. Any hoot, said his name was Frasier and ran with club years back. Spends winters in Florida but has summer home in Hustisford Wis. Stated his last race was Nationals in beloit. He said he would be a Neosho. I think he said he ran A & B stuff. Anyone remember this guy?

My brother Chris and I ran our last race in Wisconsin at Neosho in 1959, before moving out to California. Chris ran ASH with a Pabst, and I ran AU with a Stippich. I wish we had made plans to join the mini-reunion that seems to be forming, maybe next time.
A driver from Ohio, Dave Thomas, came to Neosho in '58 and '59, running CSH and maybe DSH, with Baycraft boats,I think. Us 'newbies' were very impressed. Later on I developed the theory that this may be the same person that started the Wendys chain.
Does anybody remember Dave Thomas?

Steve, I remember Dave as we competed against each other at the Beaver Falls, PA nationals, I think 1963(?), in DSH. He had a Coutts hydro & beat me. I believe that he finished 2nd or 3rd, I finished 5th.Many years later I thought the same thing about Wendy's.

[jwmaddrell]

dont think dave was the founder of wendys but he was a top racer in the 50s and 60s from dayton area. later ran inboard hydros for someone.

Larry,
That was probably Mike Frazier. Good guy, who hung out and raced with Sam LaBanco, Jake Shallcross, Gravesen, and Pittmans. He used to race a 15 Hot Rod.

They recently bought a 302 and a boat kit. Hopefully, we will see Frazier or Shallcross' son on the water this year.

Does the memory go first? Or is it something else?

[John Schubert]

Dates

Yeah, something else plus memory. I thought that was the sequence John, but didn't feel like going down to my trophy area relegated to my workshop to check the dates on the respected trophies
