I just got a copy of the permit today. It's in October, but I don't remember the dates.

I'll get the info tomorrow and Ross's phone number, if you want to help out again this year.

The group that puts this event on is dedicated to running races that "the little guy's" can still go racing in :thumbsup I was surprised at how little entry fees & such were. The 1st pic is the start of the Parker 9 hour enduro, 1967, the 2nd one is the start in 2007 The inboards RULE for the 1st couple laps then the outboard boys are in the lead. Back in the day, Marion Beaver ( he owned A LOT of Parker, including the ford dealership ) ran a little hydro, "Gummy's Ghost". ALL he wanted to do was lead the 1st couple laps of the race then the big flat bottom guy's took over. Back in the '60's it was not uncommon to have 150 or more entries.

We have a delegation from the swamp going to Parker to try the 300.

I am in the thrash mode to get the last details on my Ron Jones ET, turbine powered w/Arneson drive, ironed out.

The boat raced the Parker 9 hour in the late 60s & early 70s so I am just bringing it home.

Got the seats done since that pic was taken, Had to have something that fit the boat.

Also added the back seat.
