Cool poster Jerry. That thing has it all. The Speed and Marine E.T. and G.N., Duff, and Rocky Aoki.
Wonder how many know who the presenter RB Racing even is. They were HUGE in the endurance races in Florida.
Or that Rocky Aoki raced GN boats. Or who Rocky Aoki even is.

Years back I used to run in the same circles as Aoki's son Steve. He's still close with my old room mate...

Benihana!

Those were great days in boat racing when you have people like Rocky and Al Copeland(Popeye's Chicken) running offshore. Couple astronauts, Mike Gordon (Gordons Fish) and Red Adair racing GN.

A new DeVille was 10,000, a Charger was 5,500, and a Nova was 3,500
And I bought my house for 66,000.

Out of all of those your house was the only one worth buying.
