I took them. Unfortunately I lost a good amount of photos in an epic hard drive crash in 2006 but all of these were off a Sony digital camera that uses the 3.5 floppy (not so floppy but...).

Wow Chris. I don't think I have ever seen anyone try this before. Were the rudders independent or linked?

Chris,

These are great tunnel legends and pics. How are the Hazelwoods these days? I met them at the 93 NAMBA Nationals and they were a blast. I believe his wife's name was Judy.

It's been over 6 1/2 years since I've raced in District 19 except for one race at San Diego and SAW at Legg Lake. I know Judy is still the treasurer of District 19. I trust Richard is no longer running locomotives and has long since retired.

Nor have I seen it before. Would love to see a video of it running.

There's no video that I'm aware of. It was dual rudder (you can see the water lines off the back of each tub).

Joe Monohan



Lorenzo Martinez



The sight line of the pond are why it's so good for records

I talked to Alfred this week. He sent me a cowl for my LeeCraft that I needed. I really hope to see the sales of LeeCrafts and their presence on the East Coast increase. I have only talked with him on the phone a few times but he seems like a nice guy. Obviously he is a great tunnel competitor as he won B Tunnel again at the NAMBA Nationals. If those are his LeeCrafts they look awesome!!!!!

Chris,

Joe's boat looks like an old Aerotech!!!!

Those were great boats as well. Basically a LeeCraft copy but with a wider beam. Made them great in rough water. Any idea who has those old molds? Carl VanHouten?
