It happened in the early 80's, names like Betty Cook, Joel Harpin, Al Copeland were the names of some of the racer's.
They raced friday mornings 2 laps down to the ambassor bridge then twice around lake St clair.
including running 2 wide under the same span of the McAurther Bridge.
Sunday's Hydro racing included legends like Bill Muncey, Tom D'Eath, and young gun by the name of Chip Hanuner(sp).
Just to name a few, back in the day when Piston power ruled the river!!!

But we are having so much fun so far this year running against the great group of guys this year....will finish up to see if we can tangle some more with Wanted, that little Activator and them old guys in that tank called AMF along with some others.....
