Cool! keep them coming!

Our old B Marchetti. This is the only hydro I remember my dad driving.

This one said "Kingsland 1976" on the back, so that would've been Rick Hartley's place.

Some familiar names on here, including a bunch from my 'hood.

...finally. These are out in front of my Dad's house in 1974. This is where the Lone Star circuit traditionally ended its season from 1968 until 1977.

Tim Butt's clowning around in the first pic. Second one is Ashley Lawrence followed by me taking a swig of Gatorade. Not sure who the couple is talking to my Dad. Joe Rome is behind my Dad and Ashley Lawrence is leaning on the experimental one-of-a-kind Butts.

I'd recognize your stance anywhere, even from behind in that photo, greetings from Austria,

Hey Red Man. Great to see you on here. Are you still chewing?

This is good...... Alan chiming in. Alan Ishii and Johnny Dortch are honorary Texans and Lone Star Members by official declaration at a meeting. They came and raced with us all the time and came to become friends with all the Texas bunch. Bill Van Steenwyk and Ray Hardy would have been except Bill Van didn't race during those years because of recovering from a bad flip driving Billy Seebold's tunnel in a test event, and Ray moved to Texas and joined Lone Star Boat Racing Association.

I've got a long job to head out to, but I will have pics of both Ronald and and Donald Brady after I get back. Will start to look them up now.

My dad Howard Sandoz used to race in the 50's in the Houston area....I was born in '62 and never witnessed this.

Baytown Boat Club?

Probably no one around that remembers him.

Dad is still around and has a large display case of trophies.

Now....he loves restoring old Wizards when he's able.....some Mercury's too.

I'll inherit them some day

IF YOU KNOW OR KNOW OF MY DAD....PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
