Hey Bruce, when I switched my video hobby to a business in 1997 my first paying client was Bob Devine. Robbie won both races that day and in the weeks after Bob proceeded to bootleg and distribute videos to the rest of the GN teams. I was well known quickly because of it.
Here's that video.

That #13 boat looked like a scary ride in the second heat up to the point when he broke down...

The second plat of the Spinaker Bay subdivision wasn't started yet and my inlaws were in their first house near the side enterance to the stadium on that side... They eventually moved to the far end near the rowing center around 2002... I used to sit and drink my morning coffee outside the rowing center every morning but had no clue that the circle races were going in the stadium... We were all wrapped up in the ski races and used to patrol/crowd control at the opening in the federal breakwater... There are alot of folks that USED TO drive/run their boat in the Catalina race living in Spinaker Bay... Most are retired from that scene now...

Lost FOotAge, GN racing at the beach 1997....
Just kidding about the lost footage part, I just stumbled onto this, on S.S.'s youtube acct...
Look at ole DeVine's GN47 rockin it out, the 21 Rayson mini puts the smackdown on the HEMI powered GN hull...
My favorite hull, my favorite class...
I just noticed on Robbie's shirt, looks like it says "Fancy Dancer / GN47" ???Last edited by 2manymustangs; 03-03-2015 at 10:21 AM.
