REGION 6 Region 6 kicked off its racing season as it always does with the Test and Tune session at Eastwood Lake, in Dayton, Ohio. Dozens of Inboard, Vintage and even some outboard drivers showed up to get their rigs out on the water to prepare for the season. In between test heats, the APBA Inboard Driving School boat, Adrenaline Obsession was giving students the ride of a lifetime. All of the students had a wonderful time the APBA Inboard Driving School and some are even looking forward to next year. Racing action in Region 6 finally kicked into full gear with Walled Lake Thunder. The Inboards showed out in full force, Grand National Hydro, National Modified, 2.5-Litre Modified, 2.5-Litre Stock,5-Litre and I-Litre. Joining the Inboards were the Vintage boats and the SLTs. Outboard racing followed one week later in Constantine, Michigan for the Joe Whetstone Memorial race. Hosted by the Michigan Hydroplane Racing Association, the Stock Outboard, Modified Outboard and Junior Classes were al represented well with racers from aU over the country attending this traditional race. Two weekends later the action picked up with the 20ccMod Hydro North American Championship. It was Collen Meyers who would go on to win the title of North
REGION 1
The racing action kicked off in Region 7 in mid-May with Mayhem on Menomin, in Menomonie, Wisc. The action was fierce as the OPCs took to the water; SST-60, SST-120, Sport C, Formula 150, VP75 and GT Pro. Winning both days of racing, Kris Shepard took 800 total points from the Formula 150 class, while Merv Bjork and Mark Welch each

2.5-Litre Modified, 2.5-Litre Stock, 5-Litre and 1-Litre's hitting the water. Joining them were also the loS-Litre Stocks. Here Race Director Kyle Wilson couldn't have been prouder of the turnout and the way the event went.
The MHRA continued its racing season in Grass Lake, Mich., with the Wet and Wild Regatta for both North American Championships and Divisional Championships. There it would be Nikolas Miskerik who would win the Junior Runabout North American Championship and Jared Pavlick who would claim the JuniorHydro North American Championship. In the A -Stock Marathon Divisional, it was Terry Kerr would come out ahead, followed by JR Broge in second and Nicholas Foster. Other Stock Marathon divisional champions include, Timothy Ross (CSR), Josh Pearson (DSR) and Brian Mitsch (25SSR). Region 6 racing continued with the 63rd Annual PNC Road on The River World Championships. Here it was Terry Rinker who would run away with the SST-200 World Championship. Following Terry was Tammy Wolf in 2nd and Mark Proffitt in 3rd. In a real close race in the SST-45 World Championship, it was Mark Schmerebauch finishing just a head of RJ West. Coming in 3rd place was Gary Barber. The Inboard circuit continued on Pontiac Lake in Waterford, Mich., with the Qyake on The Lake 14. Again it was the Grand National Hydro, National Modified, took a second and a third. Racing SST-200 as well, Bork also took two first place finishes on Saturday and Sunday. Kristine Bjork, Racing GT Pro, wasn't able to keep up pace with Brandon Lick who took a first place finish on both days of racing. Sport C belonged to Allan Hunting, as he claimed the top spot both days. As the racing continued in Region 7, the action stared to heat up for the PRO Eastern Divisionals and the Modified North American Championships at the

Mter the rainout at the Stock Outboard, Modified Outboard and Junior Classes Nationals, the Modified Outboard Commission elected to run the rest of their Nationals in Dayton, Ohio, at the Great American Outboard Race. In total five classes had crowned National Champions 200ccMR (David Bennett), 250ccMR (Edward Hearn), 350ccMR (Rick Miller), 200ccMH (Andy Hansen) and 500ccMH (Daniel Koschka). The 2013 Region 6 racing season ended with the Modified Divisionals and North American Championships in Alexandria, Ky. In aU 10 champions were crowned eight Divisional Champions 350ccMR (Larry Stenander), 500ccMR (Jansen Dircksen), 750ccMR (Brian Cafarelli), 200ccMH (Katie Cafarelli), 350ccMH (Daniel Koschka), 500ccMH (Greg Herkenhine), 750ccMH (Shawn Brill) and 850ccMH( Eric VanOver); and two North American Champions 350ccMR (Jeff Williams) and 850ccMH (Kevin Besonen). All-in-all it was a fun and exciting racing season in Region 6 and we are all looking forward to see what the 2014 racing season will hold.
Third Annual Harry Brinkman Memorial Regatta. Stealing the show was Region 7's own Jay Walls,Jr. Walls claimed the top spot in C Service Runabout, CRace Runabout and C Service Hydro. With a third place finish in C Race Hydro, Walls earned 2,850 points and had his season off to a fantastic start. Duke Johnson earned the first place finish in C Race Hydro. Dan Koschka and Dr. Rick Miller both won their respective classes, 500ccMH and 400ccMH, and earned a North American Championship.

In the Stock classes, it was Region 7's
REGION 8 As Region 8 closes the 2013 season, we wanted to take the time to reflect on our exciting season highlights. Getting ready to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Twin Cities Power Boat Association (TCPBA) we would like to take the opportunity to thank a few of our TCPBA founders: Howard Pipkorn, Dick Kojetin and Jerry Johnson; noting that both Howard and Dick are still racing; and Dick at the young age of 70. As Region 8's races take place in the upper Midwest, Mother Nature is always something the racers have to contend with. As our season was about to begin, she had a mindset of her own by dumping snow on us a week before our first race, making it difficult for our racers to get ready for the season. That said, it was still a fun and eventful race season, there were close calls and even closer races. Even the 2013 Region 8 Chairman Donnie Lick's "Fly Em' High" #11 boat wasn't invincible. The boat took flight with pilot Jeff Hansen on the first race of the year; taking the Lick boat out of commission for most of the season. In 2014 we elected a new chairman, Dave McCormick, who brings a strong knowledge of boating racing to the table. Assisting Dave as Vice Commissioner will be Merv Bjork; we believe both will be great representatives of Region 8. Jeff Larson accepted his new position of Secretary/ Treasurer. If you have a chance, please congratulate them on their newly elected position. Region 8 racers are not the type to simply stay put, and several have traveled the nation
Donny Allen who won two Central Division titles; one in 20SSH and the other in C-Stock Hydro. The championship run continued in Region 7 with the culmination of OPC racing in Kankakee, Ill., over Labor Day Weekend for the OPC Nationals. Refusing to stay sit in anybody's shadow, Terry Rinker dominated his classes and won four
promoting the sport of boat racing. Jeff Larson, Jeff Krischano and Merv Bjork traveled to other region events this year. Krischano scored a few 1st place finishes in Florida and took the North American Championship home from the Pittsburgh Regatta as well as finished as the APBA national points leader for SST-60. Merv Bjork took home a 3rd place finish in Knoxville, Tenn., with the white #32 boat and a 2nd place finish in Orange, Texas. The Welch race team traveled around the country racing and finished respectively in the circuit. These racers demonstrated that some of the best racers in the nation call Region 8 their home. Our own 2013 season was simply amazing. As we attempt to get the word out about TCPBA, the spectators are starting to hear us. It seems as we get more at each race, which makes this all worth it. We had close races all season, which was exciting for our fans, as well as the drivers. In GT Pro, Brandon Lick and Stephanie Hansen battled it out until the last race of the season, where Brandon was able to take the race and the TCPBA championship, when Steph's boat hooked in the corner and died out. Not sheading any tears, Stephanie took the National Championship in Kankakee, Ill. Both Stephanie and Megan Halver pulled double duty racing in both GT Pro and Sport C. Marissa and Becca Fortuna, along with Emma Wachholz, tried to chase down the front runners but just couldn't pull out the win. Emma did take 3rd place in Kankakee, while Marissa and Becca's boat (piloted by Jeff Larson) took 2nd. In Sport C, Allan Hunting and Nancy battled it out. Coming out on top, Allan took 1st in all but one race, and as you may
National Championships, and improving from the three championships he won in 2012. Rinker took home the crown in SST120, SST-200, Formula 1 and Mod U. The 2013 racing season in Region 7 was one of the most exciting racing seasons the region has seen. The action only promises to get better in 2014.
have guessed, Nancy was the one who took 1st in that race. In VP-75, wow what a race season. This is a class where you never know what may happen, or who may win the race. This is why the fans call them the "Crazies." It was a tough, down to the nitty gritty... tie. Not sure if that has ever happened in racing, but it did this year in the TCPBA. Paul Jorgenson and Chris Lazarz came in for the season with a point total of2,719. Not sure how we are going to settle who gets 1st, maybe rock, paper, scissors? I do want to mention that Dick Kojetin came in a strong 3rd place, even with being, urn .... 70-yearsold. Great job guys. Our hobby stock racers had a short season with only two races, where Chris Vadnais took 1st and Tim Fortuna took 2nd. The SST-60 class welcomed a few new racers this season bringing our total boat count to nine. Two of our new SST-60 racers are women. Welcome Jessica Olson and Kris Bjork. What a back and forth battle between the Jeff Krischano and Jeff Hansen all season. It seemed as though Jeff Krischano and Jeff Hansen were going to duke it out, but with Jeff Krischano's hard knocks (flipping, prop damage and a collision) and Jeff Hansen unable to make it to two races, they both fell down the ladder and opened the door for Dean Hansen to take TCPBA High Points. Dean's son Mike Hansen took a close 2nd, falling only to his father. We can't wait to see what 2014 has to offer for the SST-60 class. In addition we would like to welcome David Garza too, the SST-60 class as well this year. SST-120 was a different story, Brian Tabara led in all but one race; taking home 1st place High Points in TCPBA as well as 2nd place for APBA High Points. I would say he
and Merlot" event. The 2013 Region 10 Vintage Award for: Event of the Year went to Tim Hamilton, Race Director, and Tacom a Inboard Racing A ssociation for the Terry T roxell Memorial Regatta at Pateros, Washington; Team of the Year to Dixon Smith and the Miss Bardahl; Rookie of the Year to Kirk Rodgers in the H -00 Miss Marion Bluegrass; and category High Points to Frank and Jeff Schneider and their E-l Calypso Too. The APBA Vintage Chairman's West C oast Award for "Outstanding C ontribution to the Vintage Category" went to the husband and wife team of Jerry and Terri Kelson. The strength of the Region 10 Vintage C ategory showed in the 70 attendees at the meeting. The group has now adopted a separate identity, "N orthwest Vintage Hydroplanes"with a logo; patches and decals are available. M ore boats are on the way too, Region Rep.Jim Olson is speculating about 30 in the w ater, active in 2014. For the many retirees who use Vintage race boat s as their prescription for keeping active, h appy, eng aged, the follow gets it about right: "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways totally worn out and shouting W oo H oo ... what a Ride." D own south, the Cal-Ore River racers have wrapped up their brief but spectacular season. Larry D arneille reports the news from this very active club: "The conclusion of the Cal-Ore 2013 season is the awards presentation at the Lucky Seven Casino in Smith River, Calif. Although it was an abbreviated season, the battles were hard fought. The 2013 season h ad some of the closest competition in recent history. C oming out on top as the High Point driver and also High Point owner is Tyler McGinnis of Gold Beach, Ore. The 2013 Rookie of the Year is Joel H ood of Grants Pass, Ore. The Sportsman of the Year is Matt Richardson, also of Grants Pass, Ore., while the Most Improved Driver is John McAllister of Junction City Ore. This year's Service Award goes to Ryan McGinnis of Gold Beach, Ore., who took a year off from racing and provided and drove the safety sweep boat. Last but not least J ebb Curtis of Gold Beach, Ore., receives the Hard Luck Trophy as his season ended
with an accident on the first lap of the first race.Jebb will be back with much better luck in 2014. The Cal-Ore River Racer's had a great season and the High Points winners are as follow s: Tyler McGinnis 1475 Jeff Lewis 909 Jeff Laird 625 Derek Woolsey 438 J ohn McAllister 352 C ongratulations to all of our winners. The 2014 racing season will be an exciting one, with a returning full race schedule. There are at least three new rookie drivers planning on joining the circuit to compete with the four rookies from 2013. There will also be the addition ofD-Stock Runabout to at least one race in 2014." There's a whole new crew at the helm of Tacoma Inboard Racing Association for 2014. Mter the dust cleared from their recent election, it looks like "Girl Power" is going to be running TIRA's show. New commodore Ana Cappelletti checks in with all the big news: "Wow, what a year we've had in our region. Starting in Moses, Tacoma Inboard's first race of the season had a great turn out. 5- Litre record was broken by Kip Brown in the Block Head Machine/My Way. We would also like to thank SOA for coming to our event and putting on some exciting racing. As the season progessed our next race was the Terry Troxell Memorial Regatta in Pateros,we had an amazing turnout of both Flatbottoms and Vintage. It was quite a weekend with some excellent racing. But, at the end of the weekend we had to award someone with the Terry Troxell Award for their great racing and on and off the course attitude and appreciation. This years recipient was Nick Bononcini, it was rightfully owed. Congratulations, Nick. Then to end the year with Summer Nationals at Spanaway. There was some of the best racing that many have seen in quite some time. We would like to thank all that came out both far and near. ... Without all of the participation and volunteer work that was put into this event, it would not have been the huge success it was.
Moving into 2014 there are some new things coming up to look forward to. We have new officers and board members for the 2014 season. Commodore- Ana Cappelletti, Vice-Commodore- Dorie Ross, Secretary- Kimm Bussmeir, Treasurer- Sue Troxell; and board members; Jeff Schneider, Sharon Strain, Tim Hamilton and David Dodge, Karl Fortner and Brandon Payne. We are looking forward to another exciting year of racing in 2014." Rounding out this month's report is Jim Codling's wrap-up of Seattle Drag and Ski's racing season: "Here it is November 1st and off we go. We are having a baby boom and all kinds of new bundles of joy. Bianca and Jimmy Shane, Josh and Tori and the Harnack clan, our friends at Squaxin island (Jennifer), Jeff and Christabelle, The Rautenbergs, and who knows ... there are lots more future flag kids in the mix. Our summer program with the Junior youngsters has gone well, the SOA high powered program has progressed, thanks to Don Kelson for all his help. The new SE Class, I consider a success, and the GPS 95 gang is doing well and of course the I-Litre class is growing again. This winter we all need to rev up some of our other classes, Super Stock, Pro Stock and Cracker Box. Where are they? National Mods are around, now we need to get them back out. (Lawrence is coming. Jet Chevrolet is on board for 2014 so we are preparing for that early spring event once again 5-Litres need some help. Grand Prixs are alive and looking for some commitments for our 2014 season. M ore help?? Our club officers are up for elections soon, come on in and participate, it is your future. Once again, I am looking for some sponsor ideas for our (your) events. G ot a prospect? Let me get with you and I will get something written you for you to use. The National Meeting is coming in January in Reno, so not too far aw ay to travel to. It is your organization, get into the battle and work with the new commissioners to get our good thoughts put into effect.

REGION 11
Looking back on the 2013 race season brings to mind a full array of milestones, memories and mourning. We in Region 11 will recollect fondly, remember profoundly and reminisce affectionately all that was 2013. East Bay Boat Club spearheaded the time trials at the Thermalito Mterbay in Oroville, Calif., on the weekend of March 16th and 17th, where some 33 entrants took shots at establishing the new % mile records and the traditional UIM kilo record on the dual set-up course surveyed by Russ and Carol Dodge from Region 10. The fact that 13 records went into the book makes Oroville pretty fast water. The success of this event was due in large part to the efforts and support of a lot of hard working people; specifically, Dan Wilde, Steve Wilde, Jean MacKay Schwartz, Gloria Crim, O'Hara Schmeltz, and Kay Boyes along with Bill Miller, Russ and Carol Dodge, Steve Wilde and Rex "Rocket" Bothell; all of them monitored scanners along with their other individual duties. Our Region Chairman, Bill Boyes, also monitored a scanner! ChiefInspector, Bill Thompson, came down from Region 10 to head a crew made up of Dan Schwartz, Julian Rucki and trainee, Brian Schmeltz. Patrol Captains were Allan Sutfin and Karl Bishop. On May 5th, 2013 a pantheon of race boats combined for a Play Day at the Salt Spring Valley Resort and Campground. "Combined" in that event numerous categories were represented. More than 25 racers dusted off the straw and critter droppings to come out and make sure the equipment was in operating order in
be worked out, they did a darn good job down there. So off we go." As we close out December, we'd like to extend a big 01' Region 10 wish for a Merry Christmas and a FAST New Years. 2014 looks like a good one, Stock/Mod/Junior Nationals at Moses Lake in August. See you there.
preparation for the upcoming season opener at Lake Minden. Lake Minden was the site of the first race of the season, and as usual it drew a nice turnout of both drivers and spectators. A good showing of Crackers was highlighted by the winner, Tony Lombardo in John Canfield's P-5 boat. Out of the Cracker and into Dan and Jean Schwartz's ASH, the Concord Flash turned in another podium finish. Buzz "The Kid" Rasmussen of 20SSH fame, did a nice job as race director. Another highlight was Bill Hollman's first first-place showing in his newly acquired CSH. Bill came up through the Nor Cal ranks and is now running his own new boat. Just two weeks later, the Unlimited Hydroplanes returned to California's Folsom Lake for the first time in 60 years and drew crowds numbering in the thousands. On the undercard the fans greeted a Cracker Box field headed by the Concord Flash, Tony Lombardo who once again drove John Canfields P-9, "Pandora's Box", to victory on both days. Jim Mathews drove the P87,"In the Mood"to 3rd and 2nd place finishes on Sunday following 3rd and 2nd place finishes on Saturday. Eddie Solis' P-9 garnered podium finishes on Saturday, but suffered problems on Sunday. Chuck Doidge's P-94 sees his sons Jeff and Dan rotating the driving duties and they had gremlins on Saturday but came back on Sunday with a 2nd in the qualifier and topped that with a 3rd overall. The ASH action was dominated by Tony Lombardo on both days. Gordon Jennings, Jared Wallach and David Hale delivered podium finishes in AXH finishing 1,2 and 3 respectively. Dave Rankin headed a the Super Stock field of 10 boats and showed them the way around in the Saturday qualifier, followed by a first and then on Sunday swept both races. He was challenged by Tom Buckles who garnered

first place finishes on Saturday followed by Skip Tuttle. SST-45 action saw a 10 boat field fighting it out on some pretty rough water. Jason Williams, Spencer Love and Dean Comer swept the first three places on both. Dean Comer, Frank Banducci (the oldest fart on the water), Robert DeLauter (Frank's grandson), Warren West, Tony Lombardo and Walt Hollis made the rest of the field look good in some hot and heavy action. On June 15th and 16th, the East Bay Boat Club hosted the Tammy Dawe Memorial and Western Divisionals at the Salt Spring Resort near Copperopolis, Calif. This was truly a cooperative effort as evidenced by the combined hard work of volunteers from Regions 10, 11 and 12.Jim Nilsen of Region 10 teamed with Daniel Wilde of Region l1's EBBC to serve as race directors while Rick Sandstrom of Region 10 teamed with Ernie Dawe of Region 12 and Gloria Crim of Region 11 to handle the referee duties. Inspection duties were handled by Steve Greaves of Region 10, Steve Wilde of Region 11 along with Dan Schwartz and Brian Schmeltz of Region 11. Chief Scorer was Jean MacKay Schwartz aided and abetted by Kay Boyes and O'Hara Schmeltz while Karl Bishop served as Risk Manager. The results of this race are posted on the APBA website. At this event several Region 11 drivers qualified for their respective nationals. Good show and great racing. On The weekend of September 14th and 15th, the East Bay Boat Club put on the Patriot's Day Regatta at Salt Spring Reservoir. The shocker of the weekend was the passing of Dan Schwartz, who passed awau on Sunday while performing his duties as the ChiefInspector for the event. Memorial services were held in various parts of the APBA world of boat racing, a testament to the respect and high esteem

PROPELLER "oS ' . in which he was held in the eyes, hearts and minds of fellow racers throughout the country . The admonition he bespoke at each drivers meeting, "don't cheat," will echo continuously at each of our races. Lake Minden Classic 2, the final race of the season, was held at the Thousand Trails Campgrounds in Nicolaus, Calif. The results are shown on the APBA website. A ton of ASH boats turned out and it was ... you guessed it! ... Tony Lombardo taking 1st place honors on both days. Six Crackers showed and the 1st place honors on Saturday and the first heat on Sunday went to John Canfield's P-5, "Pandora's Box", driven by Tony Lombardo. The Doidge Brothers, Dan and Jeff, driving Chuck Doidge's P-94 came on with a bang in the second heat on Sunday to bring home the bacon. At the Saturday night dinner,John Canfield was presented with a beautiful cake in honor of his retirement. The cake, by Sandy Rouse, depicted his P-5 Cracker Box and also displayed an APBA shield designating him as number 1 for 2013. The "race of the day" had to be the contest between Craig (the father) and Brett (the son) Williams in C-Stock Runabout. Neck and neck for three laps and down to the wire to a finish separated by mere inches with the win going to the son, Brett. His dad gave no quarter and Brett had to stay on his game for the entire heat to get the win. What a show!
REGION 12 Racing in Region 12 starts about three weeks after the end of the previous year, when we go racing with SCSC and the Annual Bluewater Regatta. This is held the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving and this year was the 66th annual race. There is always a good turnout of boats in Inboard, Inboard Endurance, Stock, Junior and OPC. There are no races in December and in January; a lot of our members attended the APBA Annual meeting. In 2013, it was held in Dallas. At that meeting, Tammy Dawe was inducted into the APBA Honor Squadron and a
Need For Speed Unofficially, Region 11 placed several drivers in the record book for their achievement in the speed trials: Frank L. Banducci in his Sport C was the first Region 11 driver to establish a record in the new % mile straight away category at 46.879 mph. This would later be shattered by Sport C driver Steve Walde, running the time trials at D Lake with a record speed of 59.825 mph in the % mile. Pat "The Rocket" Brians ran 100.447 mph for the kilo in Richard Fuchslin's 750ccMH. RJ West put his name and Skelton Racing in the record books with three milestones this year: 45SS Kilo at 86.117 mph and % Mile 84.666 mph along with SST-45 % Mile at 78.993 mph. Last, but by no means least, Daniel Wilde established his mark at Yelm by taking his ASR, "Pop's Rig", 3 miles in 3 laps to a speed of 47.860 mph. Congratulations to all. Special Recognition 2013 cannot be summarized without deserving recognition given to some very special and dedicated individuals. First, Jean Mackay-Schwartz, whose duties reached extraordinary proportions this year, resurrected the publication of East Bay Boat Club's Prop Wash, and sparked significant growth in club membership and communications across the APBA world. Then there is Bill Miller who probably can
new annual Stock Outboard Award was presented in Tammy's name. The first recipient of the award was none other than Tammy's father, Ernie. Dave Hale and Britanny Schwarztenbach were the Stock Outboard Rookies of The Year. We were well represented at the Hall of Champions awards with Bill Wheeler being inducted for Inboard Endurance and Skelton Racing's RJ West, who received the At Large bid. During February our Region was represented at the LA boat show thanks to the hard work of many, particularly Mike ~indazzi.The next event was at Bakersfield, Calif., the first weekend in March. This was held by SCSC and again there was a good turnout of boats in all categories. I think we are the only region
be best described as ever-ready, ever-present, ever-willing and a true pillar of support throughout the Region and throughout the year; he is always there when needed and never fails to show up to lend a skilled helping hand. Next, we have to applaud Bill Boyes who has labored long and hard as Region Chairman for countless years; he really took a giant leap on behalf of all racing in Region 11 this year by scouting out and securing the purchase of a direly needed rescue boat. And a special thank you goes to J.R. Rucki who conquered a 5200 mile roundtrip to Macon, Georgia and back in time for the new rig to see service at our last Minden race. What a road warrior. Delta Boat Racing Association deeply regrets the unexpected cancellation of their annual "Delta Thunder" race on the Sacramento River in Isleton. The untimely passing of Ron Swepston, the race's greatest supporter and facilitator, left the event with an insurmountable void. However, the club leadership promises to bring it roaring back in October 2014 An overview of the activities sponsored by the California Speedboat Association in 2013 has not been made available to the Vintage & Historic for publication.

where our races run so many different categories. One of our biggest classes is the Classic Outboard Runabouts, and those drivers know how to put on a show. Even though they are a local class, they are very supportive of all of the races. When I say the race was held by SCSC please keep in mind that this is the hard work of Ross Wallach and his crew of helpers. This race was also the Stock Outboard Winter Nationals and there were three classes with enough boats to count for the Winter Nationals Title. The first weekend in April we were back in Parker for another SCSC race, and again it was a good event. We wouldn't be racing in Parker if it were not for the Bluewater Resort and Casino and all of their support. The resort is right on the Colorado River

Neches to see R.J. win 4S-SS. Chuck told me that he likes the Port Neches race. We flew Hans back from Austria to get seat time in 4S-SS but he rode up a roostertail and was out after that. At Highlands we tested the Selva F1000 motor on John Calley's championship Kaos SST-60 tunnel with Glyn Matthews as pilot. The Selva is faster than 4S-SS but couldn't win an SST-60 race. Glyn, who runs F1 Sport and wins, said he'd never had more fun in his life. Scary Jerry Rinker was again the man to beat in the Tri Hull class all season, he won
REGION 16 Region 16 had a bit of a down year in 2013, with the only race on its schedule, River
both Port Neches and Orange Curtis Nunez was in fine form, he won F1 Sport at Orange. Merv Bjork drove all the way from Minnesota to keep him company in 3rd place. Bud Nollman beat Mark Schmerbauch in a 4S-SS heat, only to break a rib while driving so hard. Bud was hot but fell out of the final heat. The finale was won by ace driver Steve Merleau. We ended the season at Highlands again, in October where Tracy Hawkins finally got his act together and won F1 Sport. Chris Hughs won 4S-SS with a prop named 'Little Joe' that Bud Nollman sent him on City Racin'in Chamberlain/Oacoma, Sd., begin cancelled. With former Region Chairman Dutch Squires becoming APBA Vice President,
loan. Travis Thompson ran strong seconds at both Orange and Highlands. Before the season started we hosted the APBA National meeting in Fort Worth. That gave C ornelia and me the chance to spend time with myoId friend Edgar Rose, and to meet and talk with Charlie Strang and Bob Wartinger for the first time. Plus, the new SeaWay 45 SS motor was on display. It was a fun and exciting race season and we are looking forward to 2014.
/ /Joe McCauley Dutch's son Justin has become the new Region 16 Chairman and he is looking forward to having a great 2014 racing season.
