Re: Old Racing Photos
I grew up watching these boats as well and i don't think i'm that old. Does anyone remember a boat called HELLO DEAR, I remember being towed by it in a little dingy after we got stuck up the creek at snowdons beach and the guy (a mate of my old mans) decided to teach us a lesson and opened it up with us on the tow rope. Never been so frightened in my life. Dingy's arn't meant to go that fast !!!! Would love to know if that boat was still around.... has a special place in my life!
Re: Old Racing Photos
Great historic value and some top action ,
should or can these be transfered to a nostalgia folder ?

Re: Old Racing Photos
They sure are groovy.
Just for the record, I don't own nor did I upload any of these photos. I just provided the link. Mike from 'Mike Smith Graffix' would be the one to get in touch with regarding archiving them or obtaining copies etc.
