This thing was just messed up
Quite a spectacle when they came to town. I used to watch them race in the river at Kankakee Illinois. Miss Budwiser and Miss Bardahl were the two front runners. A whole lot of beautiful mahogany was used to build those boats and the sound was something elseSay what you will, but, the men that drove those old unlimited hydros were crazy, a good crazy, but, crazy none the less.
it was quite easy to forget actually, my least favorite Sr ever drove. Whew thats ugly
I believe this is the one that he looked at the car and jumped back out of the ambulance and took the car back the pits.

I never got to see them live in person, always wanted to, but, when I was a kid we would catch some on Wide World of Sports. I always thought they were bad to the bone. The chances of surviving a blow over were slim to nun. It took some big cohonies to pilot one of those at speed.Quite a spectacle when they came to town.
