Funny thing my wife and inlaws were there, just 1/2 mile away on 3rd street, just up the hill from the school in the background... And apparently knew NOTHING OR didn't give a crap about the goings on in Marine Stadium EVEN with my father in laws penchant for boating/racing...

The 79 date kind of dates the picture in that case IF that is a old RexMarine logo on that boat. Originally Posted by Sharp shooter

IF you see the first/closest sanger in that OP pic, that is how I recall my hydro looking (but with a yellow gel base and all kinds of colors) when my late friend Sam first owned it and when Jerry second owned it...
My third close friend had someone "touch it up" (just before I bought it) and now all that original Sanger paint detail is gone... :(
Who knows, maybe Billy/Harlin painted mine...
It looked like antique crackle paint, I thought it was bitchen the way it had aged...-In a Republic, the sovereignty resides with the people themselves. In a Republic, the government is a servant of the people, and obliged to its owner, We the People..

Yeah maybe, the photographer of the front facing pic I posted was said to be '76. Looking at the paint I would say the 76 pic is earlier than the starting rope pic. Originally Posted by 2manymustangs

I wanna live that scene in LB/SoCal with the sprints/drags/ocean runners... I feel cheated for not being there...
ALso the asphalt drags in SoCal, the hollywood hemi days of CT strokers and all the drag racing going on... I wanna DO OVER...-In a Republic, the sovereignty resides with the people themselves. In a Republic, the government is a servant of the people, and obliged to its owner, We the People..
