Ron Anderson

[Steve de Souza]

I believe Ron was one of the first to go over 100 mph with a 125CC

[David Weaver]

over 100mph in a 250cc? The engine in the photo is a FA Konig 250. If I recall correctly, the Kilo record for 250 was 96 or 97 mph for a very long time before being bumped over 100mph.

Steve & David,

I just talked to Don "Dewey" Anderson, Ron's brother...........

Gerry Walin went 92 mph with an Anzani in 1974.... Ron Anderson went 100mph with a Konig in 1977.

I like that picture, thanks Steve. 100 mph must have been FAST in the '70's! John Stevens went 101 in '84 and Sean McKean went 107 in '92, both with Pugh/Yamato combos. The record is ripe to be broken, Dave?

[David Weaver]

Eric, just call me and we can set you-up for the attempt in my boat!! Best I have seen is 97mph in a competition set-up. But, I know that is has more in it, just need someone else than me to give it a try.

[Ron Hill]

In the picture, the older gengleman is Rocky Stone, who are the rest? None are Ron Anderson, right?


Seems I remember the "Phantom" as Jerry Walin was called going 97 MPH with his B (350) Anzani at Modesto about 1967.

I'd like to know some speeds...

ADD:: On Walin's hydro, two blade cleaver (Cary) no skeg without out board (Actually like inboard) rudder.

Steve where did a man named Hallum come in? (Just remember Lon Steven talking about him)...

Lass ADD: Great picture...A and H? Anderson and ??? Hallum???
