Some great history lessons here on BRF
They did build fine boats Cameraboy. Thanks for the info on Jim Daniels, I don't thing I ever knew him.
Doug you are right when you say they ran clean. They could not have won races or set records with the sponsons dragging. When I say they ran flat, I meant low over the surface as opposed to some of the other boats. Here is an example of Dan Kirts in you Dad's R & D Hydro and Dan in his Butts Aerowing.
NOA was BIG in those days
Rog--Do you have a race program or results that you could post of the 1966 NOA World Championships in Midland?
