For some reason the 3rd post of the June 61 Propeller did not post in the correct order , all pages are there. Posting these can be very tedious as they don't always want to post in order. Scanning and resizing the pages is the easy part , at times in can take over an hour just to post them. I contacted Ron and he contacted the webmaster but there is no fix for this issue. Sometimes they post in order and other times it is very frustrating.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. Its the racing offseason so its time to get back into the posting of racing history. Here we go with the 1961 editions of Propeller. I last posted the June edition so here is the July 1961 Propeller edition.

Here is the next installment for 1961 , the August edition.

I've always tried to post in page order but it has become difficult, so as long as it is close I am going with it.

I was eleven years old when these Rooster Tails were published, and six years away from my first race. But I ended up racing against a number of the guys listed (not too successfully on my part). Thanks for the post!

After long last it's time to close 1961. I know, I know it's been a while but the racing off season is the best time to get back into this. So here we go, the December 1961 edition of Propeller. BTW, I am ending my infatuation with posting these in page order. Wayne Baldwin had told me people don't care if they are in order , they just like to read the history. My gosh how i miss Wayne , as we all do I'm sure.

Here are the last 6 pages.

Happy to see you back in action. Ditto on missing Wayne Baldwin...and so many others. It's the way of the world, apparently.
