The really "Old School" boating thread

[gn7]

Yes 1975 was correct, but how you could even remotely think '69 from this is beyond me.

What's with you and 1969 today? lol The Julian B boat pictured top left would have been 2 years later than 69 at it's earliest and the K Jet class was several years out from '69 too. Rough day today Bob?

1969 was during the SC years. But that didn't last thru 1975. Like I said, the jet classes were not setting well with me at all!!!

I think its the "what year did you graduate" thread that is throwing me.

So I wonder why GNs weren't listed on the flier?

I don't know. I didn't even attend my first Bluewater race until the 90's. I can say, I don't remember the GN's racing with the usual circle boats at the Stadium in the 70's. There sure were a lot of Hydro classes though and it was standing room only on the shore when the K's came out.

Yeah, I need to find out what they were doing during that period. I can't believe there were enough endurance races to keep them that busy. That's would have been during the E.T. period as well. Maybe the I.E. category had their own deal going on at the time.

You aren't kidding about the number of hydros that ran during that time. The capsule deal killed hydros on the west coast for some reason.
