APBA 73rd Annual Meeting , Atlanta Georgia
Earlier this summer I received some racing information from Ralph Donald. Inside one of the folders was a file containing information on the 1976 APBA Annual meeting. With Ralphs permission I will be posting all the information inside the folder. Hope you all enjoy it. Here is a little teaser, the Meeting Schedule for Friday Nov 19th 1976

I Was Region 12 Chairman in 1976: I Went to the Stock Commission with the Model 80
I got on the agenda for the Stock Commission and asked that the Model 80 Yamato be approved as "B" Local. I also, wanted the stock bras prop to be be part of the rules.
I was shot down on the prop. They said. "We've never had a propeller rule or spark plug rule.
I argued that my three blade propellers sold for $225 each and a Yamato 80, with propeller sold for $318.
But the brass prop go voted down.
Seems a few years later four blade props were voted down and Spec Props were approved...
Oh well I made several thousand selling Yamato 80 three blades...
