Awesome times for performance boating, never forget attending the Salt and Sea 500 with my Dad and Brother.
We were there to support Bob Patterson and Team

Here's my father when he raced SK back in the late 50's early 60's. This was his Rayson Craft, 130-SK. He also had an Aqua-craft. I believe he said the Aqua-craft was faster than his Rayson Craft in the straight aways but the Rayson Craft always turned better. I was told this was at Long Beach Marine Stadium but not totally sure. He knew Rudy really well.

My dad said he raced with guys like Vic Edelbrock, Joe Pody, Gary Primm, and others. I have a few color slides like this and then some black and white photos with a bunch of other SK boats in a race.
