I guess I need to come down to the deck sometime. He'd be a great person to bounce ideas off of. And George too, I'm bummed he's gone

Yeah. That's a lost wealth of knowledge and great company. I'll keep you updated on next trip.

Monday afternoon kinda sucked. I literally just sat on the bouy drinking beers, turning on the bilge, and whiping shit down. The river was pissed. Current hauling ass but the wind blowing the surface up-river. Better than work still

A ton of knowledge lost between these two and now Robbie gone too. Never heard for sure what happened to Robbie just rumors. Learned a lot racing against these guys! RIP.

Always been my favorite since I first seen it run in Long Beach .... unfortunately I think that was the end of it hanging in post 1127. They came back with the new white one which not as cool looking but I believe was faster and held the record.

I don't know who that is, but maybe...? I only know of the 2 guys Kevin and later Bob (pictured).

My old pal Dick VanBeenan turned 83 yesterday.
He was a Needles regular and has owned 21 vdrive boats over the years.
Definitely one of a kind!

You guys don't know how lucky you were, to get to grow up around these types of boats.
They were few and far between around here when I was a young kid.
And you never saw a circle track boat either.
A couple of V-Drives, but mostly Jet Boats with a back seat !
