Heres a few with some history and celebs
Marion Beaver receiving a trophy for driving Gummy's Ghost AND Uncle Gummy. Not sure exactly when he stopped driving them, but Bob Ellis and Wayne Thompson drove them all the time I saw them, and that was pretty much the mid and late 60s.
Keith Black receiving a trophy for driving a cracker. I don't think KB Racing Engines has opened its doors yet.
But this one has some real history.
Left to right in the back:
Stu Hilborn, Hi Johnson(propellers) Paul Sawyer boat owner, and in the foreground, Clay Smith.
has to be pre 1954 because Clay was killed that year.
I did see that we just lost Stu Hilborn. RIP Stu.

That is a neat picture, complete with ski jump in the background. I remember when almost every lake had several ski jumps set up. Lucky to find even one today. Originally Posted by Sharp shooter

Those pics don't look very old Bruce.
