AU Record

[Ron Hill]

My AU record of 1957, electronically timed...1957 was the last year of hand held stop watches for time trials...
It was a good record, as the old record of 46 seems too fast, everyone thought!!!

48 mph average on a 1/2 mile course!?!? :eek: WOW! Those KG4's must have been faaaasssst. Mike Kelly set the 1 1/4 competition record at 50 last year and that was practically a milestone. Man, I can't imagine what those KG4's felt like through the turn :D

Look again, Kyle .... 1/2 mile straightaway :)

Truth is, Craig DeWald went 49 for a mile record, two weeks later. Craig spilled in the first turn of the Nationals, that year 1957, and I got wet down the first heat by Keith Stippich...In those days, we ran the same set up for kilo (Record runs) as competition, so no one for sure ever knew who was the fastest on the course, by 1958, my AU weight was behind me..

19 C, my competion boat, my marathon boat and my record boat... 14 1/8 transon height.. Morehouse boat, and in 1958, Ted May's Marathon BU, was leading until he went up the Bill Williams Fork of the Colorado River...
