He and Penhall were best friends. They both died in Sigalos plane flying home from Tahoe. Bruce Penhall and Dennis Sigalos were best friends as well and teamed up in the Ocean Spray Offshore boat.
Shreenan's Conquisttador was Rayson with a Hemi, Len Shreenan was my dads boss from about 1957 thru 1970. He owned Schiadas later.
Lou Brummett was in a Mandella, probably hemi powered, or a destroked 427 Ford.

PS I believe Haf Gast won that race for the second year in a row. Suddenly won the Nationals in October with a Dunsmore built 396 Chevy.
the rest I am clueless. Its kind of tricky due the year and even the class. Tony Maricich used a Keith Black Hemi in a Howard for the SS class called Super Suddenly the following year.

Interesting about the Penhalls racing boats, but I guess Leroy used to race just about everything. I've seen Bruce many times racing his speedway bikes ...... he was the king of orange county, what a life but also lot of tragedy!

Hahaha!! I remember watching the Switzers in Parker while looking down on them from whatever hill my dad had us perched on and I had to be as young as 3 or 4. I also remember Julian racing Gordy's dad when I had to have been 5 to 7 years old. Anything before March 1967 I wasn't there. :D

I can only guess Wendy because that is another one from Paul Grichar's photo album. I would guess close to '65. I think that's Campbell Carl in the green boat. :D

Damn, that has to be a computer colorized picture that you photo shopped the boats into. He wasn't that young when he defected Nazi Germany.

Were you recently promoted by HotBoat to Membership Vice President in charge of insulting and pissing off members? If so, good job!

Taking a shot like that is rude, crude and completely out of line. I don't think I've seen you anywhere in your motorhome....or did you and William buy partnership into Vic's rig?

Campbell Carl I'm so sorry it was said in jest. I don't have a motorhome and wish I did. You definitely have something better than me. Please accept my apology. Wendi
