I was gonna say something about the rollers in the first picture, but that wouldn't be accurate. Rollers that big would roll over themselves and actually break near the shoreline, and I believe that would make them waves, not rollers.

Holy smokes, that's some big water!

i just read through all these postings, its crazy how far dragboat racing has come, shovel nose, so hydro's, no capsules, roll cages of death, to a full capsule with breathing and everything.  I have been going to races since before i couuld remember, then we moved and didnt go for a few years.  I have heard from several people that eddie hill tried to drive an aluminum hull tfh in the mid 80's, is that true?  that seems pretty crazy

Redding Video Productions has still pictures and videos from 1981 on to date.  Call Terry or Joanne 530 222 5281 or check out their website www.reddingvideoproductions.com
 
You might check with Mark McLaughlin too, he posts on here.  I think his website is photomark.dragboatracing.com but not sure. 
 
Good luck.

Nice picture Bass!!!!

liquidator559wife, I've contacted them and they said they do not have any TFF footage. I guess from what they told me, they only have the films available from the first year they quite running them.

I was with my father at a race on the Feather river near Oroville CA. and saw BFH Citation run 168mph.  No one could believe it. I think it was 1965 ,66 , or 67.  They later crashed hurting the driver, but he survived.  They found the motor.  Put it Panic Mouse BFF and crashed in the lites at around 130mph at Lake Natomas right in front of us.  They pulled the driver out on the shore by us.  He laid there for awhile with a bloody nose and then went back to the pits. Talk about tough.  I don't know if it was Ray C. or not.

anyone have a picture of Al Bush in the blacks express? I know he spanked Eddie Hill in Waco long ago but had the red light thrown in his lane. I think I have the paper article where he said he would never come back to Waco due to having the red light thrown in his lane.
